WELCOME
The Middletown and Pleasant Valley areas of western Maryland are home to a wealth of professional artisans working within the scenic region. Founded in the Autumn of 1981, The Valley Craft Network is an association of professional artists and craftspeople living and working here.
2024 marks our 43st year showcasing our art and fine crafts, and we invite you to view our studios in person or online, and purchase during your visit or through our websites.
Our events are free and open to the public.
