Banner Mountain Artisans brings together talented artists residing in Nevada County in a co-operative atmosphere to offer quality hand-created products at reasonable prices to an appreciative market.

Banner Mountain Artisans was started by a handful of creative artisans in 2004 who offered their wares at a holiday show held at 4 houses on Banner Mountain in Nevada City, California. As our reputation grew, more quality artisans were added and the show, always held early in November, moved to 5 beautiful homes in the Woodlands on Banner Mountain. In 2007 the attendance exceeded all expectations and outgrew the neighborhood.

In 2008 the Banner Mountain Artisans Sale moved to the Elks Lodge on Hwy 49 in Nevada City where more Artisans, as well as a gourmet coffee and dessert café, could be accommodated. The new venue proved to be very popular with over 1600 people who attended this free event over the weekend.

Please be sure to peruse the “Artisans” section of this site to view the art of each selected artist. Art can be purchased from each artist and many of the artists show at local boutiques and galleries as well as additional shows in the area.

Banner Mountain Artisan's goal is to produce a quality show with the highest quality artisans Nevada County has to offer.
