About the New Hartford Artisans Guild
The New Hartford Artisans Guild is more than just a gallery & studio — it’s a thriving community built on the superpower of human connection. We believe that when people feel supported, welcomed, and valued, they can unlock their fullest potential. In this environment of encouragement, individuals and artists thrive. We desire to spark creativity in all its forms, turning ideas into art and dreams into reality.
Here, empowerment and confidence is contagious; possibilities are endless. Doors open, collaborations form, and the energy of shared passion propels us all forward. At the heart of the Guild is a simple truth: if you thrive, we thrive. Together, we create a space where artists, makers, and community members feel inspired to push boundaries and grow.
Our location - the center of New Hartford, CT in the historic Hurley Factory - a renovated textile mill that honors a bygone era defined by industrious spirit and unwavering work ethic—a time when craftsmanship and quality were the cornerstones of every creation.
Our core values are authenticity, community, and creative connection. We believe in supporting both artists & non-artists of all backgrounds by fostering a welcoming, inclusive space where creativity can thrive. We value hard work, accountability, and going above and beyond to uplift one another. At our heart, we are about people—connecting through art, growing through collaboration, and building a culture rooted in support and shared purpose.
Our offerings include a fine art gallery with a vibrant lineup of exhibitions, student showcases, and our highly anticipated annual members-only show. A retail boutique and gift shop curated to provide you with the highest quality handmade artisan products. The opportunity to participate off-site at events held by the guild at curated locations such as plein air painting events, and a wide variety of in-house workshops & classes to spark creativity in people of all ages.
