Artisans achieves this vision by featuring American made crafts with an emphasis on the wealth of local artists that Santa Cruz and the surrounding communities have to offer. Artisans Gallery carries wall art, jewelry, glass, ceramics, metal work, pottery, woodworking, cards, candles and more.Artisans Gallery has rich history in Santa Cruz. Originally an artists' cooperative, it was founded in 1976. On October 17, 1989, Santa Cruz was hit by a 7.1 earthquake, which destroyed much of downtown. In the face of tremendous economic and physical upheaval, the artists of the cooperative felt they had to disband. Fortunately, John and Juleen Lisher, local members of the downtown community, were determined to revive the store that had become a fixture of Santa Cruz. As Santa Cruz slowly recovered from the earthquake, the Lishers slowly expanded the size and scope of the gallery to carry artists from all over North America.In 1993, the Lishers hired 16-year old Linnaea Holgers. In February of 2009, Holgers celebrated her 16-year anniversary with the store by purchasing Artisans Gallery. Holgers has continued to be "dedicated to the creative spirit, " and has further expanded the gallery by offering rotating art shows as a part of downtown's First Friday program.
