Charlton Makes! 4th Annual Community Art and Makers Exhibition

2025 will mark the fourth year that Main Street Studio hosts “Charlton Makes!”. A showcase, market and venue for the capital district to celebrate local artists and makers!

For three weeks, Main Street Studio will open its doors to the community to explore a wide variety of art forms and traditional crafts. From bold abstract paintings, to tranquil landscapes. From meticulously crafted high-end furniture, to high school woodworking projects. Visitors will find work from the painters, blacksmiths, woodworkers, ceramic artists, textile artists, writers, and other creative makers that make up our local communities.

In addition to exploring the curated exhibit, community members of all ages will be invited to attend artist talks and demonstrations and sign up for workshops where they can learn a new skill and spend time with others making projects of their own in Main Street Studio’s workshop.
