2026 Dutchess Handmade Spring Pop-Up Shop Location: Arts Mid-Hudson Gallery | 696 Dutchess Turnpike, Suite F, Poughkeepsie, NY
Arts Mid-Hudson is pleased to announce the return of the Dutchess Handmade Spring Pop-Up Shop, a curated seasonal showcase and sales opportunity for original, handmade work by artists from the Mid-Hudson region. Hosted in our Poughkeepsie gallery, this pop-up celebrates local creativity during the vibrant spring season.
We invite regional artists and makers to submit handmade works that reflect their unique vision and craft—whether shaped by hand, guided by a potter’s wheel, or produced using advanced creative tools such as fine art printers. All work must be original and created within the Mid-Hudson Valley.
This year’s Spring Pop-Up Shop will be thoughtfully curated with an emphasis on seasonal themes and milestones, including Springtime, Mother’s Day, Father’s Day, graduations, weddings, and other moments of celebration—making it an ideal opportunity for artists to present meaningful, one-of-a-kind gifts.
Our primary focus is on artists from Dutchess, Orange, and Ulster Counties, but we warmly welcome submissions from artists across the entire Hudson Valley.
