The Artisans’ Guild

The Artisans’ Guild is a not-for-profit cooperative shop in Oneonta, founded in 1999 and filled with the work of local and regional artists and craftspeople. It is staffed and run by the artists themselves, so shoppers often meet the people behind the pieces they are buying.

According to the shop, 87 percent of sales of its high-quality handmade gifts go directly to the artists. It has become a go-to place in Oneonta for gifts and unique everyday items at affordable prices, and it doubles as a gallery of local talent.
