||| FROM MAKERS GUILD |||


Artists, artisans and cultural creatives are an important part of the Orcas community. What helps foster this creativity and encourages enriching opportunities for Makers and their supporters? 

Founded on Orcas, the Makers Guild includes visual artists, artisans in all mediums, food growers and makers, performers, designers and builders, and product manufacturers as valuable contributors to our special island lifestyle. As a community-based collaborative organization, Makers in all fields are invited to join a visioning circle to share their ideas for the future of creative programs and enterprises on Orcas.  

If you dream something into being – and make it happen – the Makers Guild encourages your input for 2023 events, workshops, festivals and exhibits on Orcas.
