Artisans on fifth, (yes, it's a small "f"), is a Florida not-for-profit artist's co-operative gallery in Mount Dora, Florida. The purpose of the corporation is:
Since opening its' doors in 2009, the co-operative continues to feature the work of over 30 Florida artists showcasing a range of media. Artwork includes: paintings, fused and stained glass, photography, woodworking, lamps, jewelry, pottery and much more .... from the extraordinary to the sublime.
Mount Dora, FL is "Someplace Special" and has been ranked on two national lists: Smithsonian Magazine's "Top 20 Small Towns to Visit" list, and in the "Top 50 of Best Small Downtowns in America" by bestchoicereviews.org. It's no wonder since Mount Dora boasts 10 major festivals annually.
Each month there is a different exhibit in our front window. See the page titled "Gallery Events" to see what's happening. Artisans is the perfect place to find the perfect gift, whether to indulge yourself or delight someone special. Be sure to visit Artisans often, as the artwork is constantly replenished with new and exciting creations. Artisans is a destination for our northern visitors, day trippers from both coasts and area residents. Artists are on site daily.
Artisans is unique to the area because Associates and Consignors are juried into the co-op, and Associates provide the staffing and business acumen necessary to operate the business. Additionally, the group also participates in a number of charitable causes, and holds a fundraiser, Bra-Vo, each fall to raise funds for women in need of mammograms. We also sell fine art and fine crafts for Consignors who are not required to work in the shop.
Members of the Mount Dora Center for the Arts also receive a 10% discount on all purchases, and memberships may be purchased at the shop. Artisans is always seeking new member artists, and those interested in applying for membership should click here to go to either the "Join as an Associate" or "Join as a Consignor" page.
