Jurying for the Fall 2016 shows begins in January 9, 2016.
Now in its 40th year, Sugarloaf continues to build a talented community of artists whose arrival is eagerly anticipated in every market by 10,000 visitors or more.  

Sugarloaf's reputation as a convenient, reliable and profitable place to display and sell work attracts new talent and keeps artists coming back for decades. The opportunity to select shows and booth sizes offers artists the benefits of a "pop-up" retail store without any of the 
headaches and hassles.
 
Discounts on booth fees, flexible payment options and convenient show setup reflect Sugarloaf's experience and commitment to accommodating the needs of artists. 
 
Through traditional advertising, media exposure and digital marketing, Sugarloaf ensures a steady stream of visitors of all ages.

Many artists appreciate the security of working with an organization that provides full scale media coverage and a network of events that they can count on every year and they build their show schedule around that. 
 
Sugarloaf Craft Festivals is now accepting applications from artists and craftspeople for its Fall 2016 season of shows. Talented artists and craftspeople working in all mediums will have the opportunity to offer their work to excited patrons in five of the nation's most lucrative markets.

  • I am happy to say I am "sugar free" I did their shows for several years but the shows have gone down hill. The jury process has become a joke, pretty much jury by checkbook. They have no let blatant buy sell vendors in yet but happily let the less obvious ones in ( you know the ones I mean. Speaking to some of my friends who did their shows in 2015 the number of vendors at the show has dropped.
