This show in Baltimore looks great. It is a wholesale show, and here is what their site says about the event.
"More than 700 of the country's leading craft artists will gather under one roof to present their latest designer, handmade work at the American Craft Council Show in Baltimore, the largest juried, indoor craft show in the nation. The highest quality of handmade jewelry, furniture, clothing, home décor, and more, will be available for purchase at the Baltimore Convention Center, February 27 - March 1, 2009.
Show highlights:
CRAFT4KIDS: This category features artists who design objects especially for children and as family heirlooms.
GREEN CRAFT: Responding to pressing contemporary issues, this category highlights artists using found, recycled or green materials and sustainable techniques.
SEARCHLIGHT: Nominated from the nation's leaders of universities, museums and residencies, 14 selected artists will exhibit their work in a stunning gallery space on the show floor. Amy Shaw, blogger, curator and owner of Greenjeans Brooklyn, will assist in designing this section.
ALTCRAFT: This section features rising indie crafters whose work illustrates the innovative techniques and materials of the burgeoning new handmade movement, in a shared market-style space.
DEMO STAGE: Lively demonstrations, with topics ranging from ceramics, glass, fiber, jewelry and wood techniques, will be presented by local experts. Click here for the full schedule of events.
SCHOOL-TO-MARKET: The Council has invited two exceptional colleges – Savannah College of Art and Design and Virginia Commonwealth University – to debut their top students' work at the show.
