The American Craft Council sets the standard for wholesale shows, offering
buyers the widest variety of craft selected through a rigorous jury process.
More than 850 artists will present their latest jewelry, clothing, furniture,
home décor and more at the 32nd annual American Craft Wholesale Show
in Baltimore, which will include a series of new features:
• CRAFT4KIDS: More than 60 artists will present their latest lines of
clothing, furniture, toys, home décor and more designed especially
for children.
• GREEN CRAFT: A brand new category to feature those who use found,
recycled, and/or eco-friendly materials and techniques.
• SEARCHLIGHT ARTISTS: Selected from the nation’s leading museums
and universities, 10 artists who have never exhibited will show and sell their
work in a stunning new gallery space.

• NETWORKING EVENTS: A kick-off breakfast Tuesday morning (Feb 19) and
a fun celebration Wednesday evening (Feb 20). Click here
for details on these and other special educational events.
• SCHOOL-TO-MARKET: To help bridge the gap between educational programs
and the marketplace for sculptural and functional craft, the Council will
invite two colleges and their craft students to participate at the show as
exhibiting artists. An unparalleled opportunity, students will gain first-hand
experience in booth design, installation, and interacting with the public.
