Sun City West’s annual Spring Arts and Crafts Fair will take place from 8 a.m. to 2 p.m. on Saturday, March 17 at the R.H. Johnson Recreation Center, 19803 R.H. Johnson Blvd.

The event features the work of many artisans from more than 20 clubs offering pottery, jewelry, clothing, artwork and so much more at exceptional prices. This event is ideal for collecting decorative items for your home or finding that special gift for a friend or new grandbaby.

The fair attracts collectors of popular local artists. Many collectors come specifically for the color scheme or style of an artist and to see what is new. A good number of the items featured at the fair are sold year-round in the Village Store as well as at the fair, but some specialty items, such as pieces of metal art and woodworking pieces, are sold only at the fair because of size constraints.

Admission to the fair is free and open to the public. There is plentiful free parking in both the front and back parking areas of the center’s campus. Accepted forms of payment at the fair are Visa, MasterCard, Discover, cash and checks. The Village Store has a new point-of-sale barcoded system that requires sales tax to be added to purchases. All other vendors participating in the fair include sales tax in their prices. Purchase receipts are available upon request.

Concessions will be available for purchase. Memo’s Bistro will provide breakfast burritos, hot dogs and pulled pork sandwiches.
