New Artists Consigning at the Exchange


At the Dedham Exchange, we strive to support independent artists and craftspeople in our local community and abroad. By providing a place for artisans to sell their wares, we empower members of a small knitting group in Bolivia to raise their standard of living. We help a dedicated group of sewers from The Juan Pablo Segundo Quilting Cooperative to provide better health care, nutrition, and education to the children of El Pital, Honduras. We provide a market to local painters, jewelers, woodworkers, and potters that keeps our local economy strong and allows them to work from home while caring for children and the elderly. When you buy a hand-made baby blanket or a jar of local honey at the Exchange you are supporting the community of Dedham and beyond!
