In the midst of a challenging economy, our Fine Craft Fairs remain solid, well attended, publicly appreciated, and successful for our exhibitors. We know you work hard. As a 501(c)3 nonprofit craft education organization, our goal is to serve you, the practicing craftsman, by providing top notch opportunities to bring excellent craftsmanship to the public. Your success is our success.
Each of our three hallmark fairs receives excellent evaluations. We listen to your ideas and work hard to keep the praise coming. We pay particular attention to promotion so as to educate and reach the very best craft audiences. We pay just as much attention to details, making sure every aspect from pre-set up through load out is seamless. Unlike for-profit companies, we focus on you, the stars of the show. Our Fine Craft Fairs attract educated buyers—not strolling attendees. Our patrons become lifelong collectors of fine heritage and contemporary craft. Entry into our shows is very competitive as applications arrive from artisans who focus on excellence in craftsmanship, resolved design and unique style or voice. Unlike some shows, we will not add booths to meet a quota. We add booths that complement our standards. So join the Pennsylvania Guild of Craftsmen. With 1,600 members in 29 states, you’ll become an active member of one of the nation’s largest and most respected craft guilds. Apply today. Deadline to apply: January 16 Notification: Feb. 23 Join the finest family of craft shows in the region with the award-winning Pennsylvania Guild of Craftsmen. A 501(c) 3 craft education organization, the Pennsylvania Guild works in partnership with our sister nonprofit, Pennsylvania Designer Craftsmen (PDC), to offer three premier shows. We also host boulevards of fine craft at other high quality events such as the Philadelphia Flower Show and FlavorFest. Our members represent the very best in every craft medium.
