With talented artisans from more than 73 communities across Mexico registered to exhibit their wares at Lakeside’s 2025 Feria Maestros del Arte, event organizers are now signing up lodging hosts for the visiting crafters.
Providing accommodations for Feria artists is an enriching intercultural experience that broadens horizons for everyone involved. Many hosts welcome artists year after year, enjoying the pleasure of meeting new guests or rekindling friendships with returning visitors.
Unlike many volunteer opportunities, hosting is a short-term commitment that fits easily into the seasonal and often busy lifestyles of local residents. A host home doesn’t need to be palatial—only a comfortable place for guests to sleep and access to a full bathroom.
Artisans will arrive on Thursday, November 7, during the morning and afternoon, often after traveling long distances from their hometowns. Once they’ve set up their booths, they’ll be picked up by their pre-assigned local hosts to begin their stay at Lakeside.
Returning to last year’s venue, the Hotel Real in La Floresta, the Feria will run from Friday morning, November 8, through Sunday afternoon, November 10. After the event, artists will pack up their unsold inventory and board a bus back home.
Hosting starts with filling out a short survey so the host committee can pair you with the right artists.
