2025 DHM Holiday Pop-Up Shop

Ends on

2025 Dutchess Handmade Holiday Pop-Up Shop
Location: Arts Mid-Hudson Gallery | 696 Dutchess Turnpike, Suite F, Poughkeepsie, NY

Arts Mid-Hudson is delighted to announce the return of the Dutchess Handmade Holiday Pop-Up Shop, a seasonal showcase and sales opportunity for original, locally crafted works. Taking place in our Poughkeepsie gallery, this curated shop celebrates the artistry and creativity of the Mid-Hudson region during the most festive time of year.

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 Pop-Up Shop will be thoughtfully curated with an eye toward the fall and winter seasons, including themes of Thanksgiving, Christmas, Hanukkah, and other cultural or seasonal celebrations.

Our primary focus is on artists from Dutchess, Orange, and Ulster Counties, but we warmly welcome submissions from artists across the entire Hudson Valley.
