Saturday May 2

10 a.m. – 3 p.m.

Everyone is invited to join us for the Fourth Annual UA Culture and Artisans Fair, from 10 am-3pm, on Saturday, May 2. This vibrant and welcoming event is made possible thanks to a partnership between St. Mark’s Episcopal Church and the Community Refugee and Immigration Services (CRIS), with support from UA’s Community Relations Committee.

The 2026 Fair will feature approximately 20 artisans from all over the world – many of whom are refugees, asylum seekers and others building a new life in the U.S. – showcasing and selling their artworks and handmade items. In addition to supporting these artisans by purchasing their works, attendees can interact with the artisans and hear their stories. The Fair will also include food and music

The UA Culture and Artisans Fair is also part of the Community Relations Committee’s UA Welcome Series, with members of the Committee hosting an informational/welcome table. Please stop by to meet with members and learn more about the work of the Committee.

CRIS will also have an information table where you can learn more about the impact of refugees and asylum seekers in our community and how you can help our new neighbors.

Saint Mark’s is located at 2151 Dorset Road in Upper Arlington. The Fair will take place on the front lawn of the church, at the corner of Dorset and Tremont Roads, rain or shine.

We hope to see you there!
