Pennsylvania Guild Fine Craft Fairs

Final application deadline : April 6, 2012

Each of our four hallmark fairs receive excellent evaluations. We listen to your ideas and work hard to keep the praise coming. We pay particular attention to our advertising 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 contemporary and heritage craft.

Application is open to artists and craftsmen nationwide. You do not need to be a member upon applying, but are required to join upon acceptance. You do not need to be a juried member of the Guild.

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 offer affordable prices for the professional craftsman.  For 2012, we’re growing our family of craft shows by adding an event at the prized Rittenhouse Square in Philadelphia.  See show application for details.

So join the Pennsylvania Guild of Craftsmen and become an active member of one of the nation’s largest and most respected craft guilds.
