The Fine Art & Craft Fair also allows attendees to meet the artists and learn about the inspiration behind their work. In addition, a Juror will be awarding prizes to the creators of the most innovative and exceptional designs, adding an extra layer of excitement to the event.

In addition to the shopping and activities, the Art League kindly asks visitors to bring one new/unused art supply product which will be donated to children and teens served by the Economic Opportunities Council of Suffolk County.

Activities for All Ages

The Holiday Fine Art & Craft Fair isn’t just about shopping—it’s a family-friendly event with activities for all ages. Children will enjoy a face painting booth, while teens and adults can participate in free papercutting snowflake workshops. These intricate workshops are available throughout the weekend, but seating is limited, so advance registration is recommended.

Attendees can make a day of their visit by enjoying food from gourmet vendors and entering to win exciting raffle prizes, including a chance to see Sarah Silverman, courtesy of WBAB/WBLI. The vibrant atmosphere, combined with the stunning displays of art and craft, ensures an experience that’s both enjoyable and inspiring.

Melissa Farrell

Melissa Farrell has a mission to support local business by "Going Local." As a local business owner herself, she understands the struggles entrepreneurs face when owning a business and is always trying to find ways to shine a spotlight onto them. Melissa started Going Local Tours & Experiences back in 2020 during the pandemic in hopes to bring people back into local restaurants and shops. She created food tours in Huntington, NY that would stop at 3-4 local businesses and gave the guests the chance to meet the owner and hear the story behind the business. She soon realized how powerful storytelling is when connecting people to local businesses and created options with local store owners as well to bring them onto the tour to share their story. Melissa wanted to expand out of Huntington to be able to support even more local businesses and started creating luxury picnics where she would bring local to you! She would find local businesses in the area of the picnic set up and deliver it to you offering ways to support over 3 local businesses at each picnic. This wasn't enough. She wanted to find a better way to help spread awareness of local businesses and share their stories. Enter Evangeline Knell...a woman with over 30 years of broadcasting experience who somehow convinced Melissa to host a 3 day live stream from the Huntington Fall Festival. She had never been on camera before, but working alongside Evie to create the 3 shows, gave Melissa the confidence to take on the challenge. The 3 shows produced focused on the local vendors, the food trucks and the events that occurred at the festival and had a much larger reach than Melissa could ever of done on her own. They soon realized a business partnership was needed and combined their two businesses, Identity Digital which is a production company and Going Local Tours and Experiences to form Going Local Media. Evie and Melissa even formed their own distribution outlet by creating Going Local TV, a streaming platform like Netflix or YouTube, that is all about local businesses, events and organizations on Long Island. There are over 200 videos including their podcast series "Let's Get Local" "Long Island Business Minds" and "Local Business Spotlight" that help spread awareness of our local businesses and Long Island Professionals. They are always thinking up new ways to support local, including this site, Going Local Today that is a directory of articles on how to Go Local on Long Island. We appreciate you taking the time to read this and for supporting local! Thank you!
