The very first art fair was created to raise money for scholarships and showcased crafts made by the Aspsians themselves. That first show raised $100 and the Aspasians were thrilled!

Over the years, the Aspasians Art Fair has blossomed and each spring and fall over 200 vendors can be found at the fair showcasing everything from jewelry and gifts to food, fine art, handmade items and vintage decor.
