Fall statewide touring and shopping event Veterans’ Day Weekend — November 7-8, 2009

On November 7 and 8, people of all ages are invited to experience the creativity and timeless traditions of New Hampshire during NH Open Doors, a statewide touring and shopping event. During Veterans’ Day weekend, more than 150 New Hampshire artists, craftspeople, cultural organizations, retail shops, wineries, restaurants, lodging establishments and businesses will open their doors to the public, showcasing the best that New Hampshire has to offer.

NH Open Doors provides visitors with an authentic New Hampshire experience. As you travel the state’s scenic highways and country roads through picturesque towns, you can meet and talk with artists and craftspeople as they work in their studios; find distinctive, New Hampshire-made products and art work in a variety of retail shops and galleries; sample fresh products from farmstands and orchards; savor fine cuisine and wine, and so much more. It’s a great way to see New Hampshire and to get a jump on holiday (and tax free) shopping. Last year’s event attracted hundreds of visitors from New England and beyond.

Not just one of the 150 sites Londonderry has 14 artists in one location!

White Birch Fine Art Gallery of Londonderry is participating in NH Open Doors, this major statewide event sponsored by NH Made and the League of NH Craftsmen. These two organizations are expanding the original concept of “open studios” where visitors met artisans and craftspeople, and opening up this opportunity to include specialty food producers, retail shops, restaurants, farm stands and orchards, lodging properties, cultural events and attractions. Visitors meet and learn about the talented artists while strolling through the gallery.

Area residents and tourists alike will be able to take part in this experience here in Londonderry at White Birch Fine Art Gallery on 8 Mohawk Drive. From 10am to 4pm. on Saturday and Sunday, November 7 &8, visitors have an opportunity to meet over a dozen New Hampshire artists and artisans, view their work and watch while some of them demonstrate their craft.
