“Antigua is a principal meeting point for artisans,” Mayor Matías Peña emphasizes. This fifth edition of the event will feature skilled craftsmen and women from all corners of Fuerteventura, each holding an accredited artisan credential. This initiative is not just an opportunity for artisans to showcase their work; it also serves to promote sales during the crucial pre-Christmas shopping season. The event is expected to draw local residents and visitors alike, fostering a sense of community and appreciation for local craftsmanship.

For those artisans eager to participate, the registration window is now open, running until October 17th, inclusively. The organization has made it easy for interested parties to submit their applications. Artisans can send their requests via email to antiguaevdeartesania@gmail.com. This streamlined process allows for efficient communication, enabling organizers to prepare for a diverse and vibrant artisan lineup.

To ensure the integrity and quality of the event, a primary requirement for participation is possession of an artisan certification. This credential allows the organizers to maintain the authenticity of the craftsmanship on display—whether the talents being showcased lean towards traditional techniques or contemporary creations.
