Kindred Spirits Artisans of Paris is an organization of individuals who share a common creative interest and who work cooperatively to actively encourage arts and crafts within the Paris and district community. This group has a core of approximately forty members, representing a variety of artistic and craft skills.
Kindred Spirits Artisans of Paris was founded in 1991. Over the past years, the cultural life of Paris has profited from open workshops, cultural discussions, exhibits, and members going out to speak to community groups about the importance that arts and culture bring to our community and their value to tourism and economic development.
The ever-popular Christmas in Paris is an annual November juried artisan show. This year the show will run from November 3-5th. Fees collected at admission from Christmas in Paris are directed to each of the seven Secondary Schools in Brantford and Brant County where two local secondary school students are awarded cash bursaries for their excellence in music, dramatic, and visual art, and creative writing.
As well, each year, Kindred Spirits awards ‘best of Show’ prizes at the Paris Agricultural Fall Fair.
A warm welcome is extended to others to join in the creativity and camaraderie of Kindred Spirits Artisans of Paris.
