Swift Waters was created in December of 2003 with a loan from the Willimantic Food Cooperative and space donated by the Victorian Neighborhood association. Proceeds from the December Artisans were used to form Swift Waters and open a storefront on Main Street in Willimantic in July of 2004.

Swift Waters strives to give back and support the community by encouraging young artisans and crafters. This is accomplished in part by hosting school art shows, holding artisan demonstrations by members, and providing a meeting space for community organizations.

Today Swift Waters Artisans Cooperative is a non-juried cooperative with close to 30 members. We run an eclectic store with members providing art and craftworks in a multitude of disciplines providing an exceptional selection of unique, high-quality merchandise.. Please stop by and see what your local arts community has to offer!
