The scenic and historic Guilford Green, a beautiful open space surrounded by boutique shops, restaurants, art galleries, has been home to Craft Expo for 59 years.
One of the craft industry's most respected juried shows, Craft Expo will again showcase an extraordinary variety of functional and decorative art handmade by North American artists. As a celebration of the arts and a signature happening for the town of Guilford and the Connecticut shoreline, Craft Expo is a must-see summer event.
Drawing an estimated 8,000 artists, collectors, and visitors from across the country, Craft Expo is known for its one-of-a-kind contemporary crafts in a variety of media. All work presented is handmade by the artists, selected by a panel of professional peers, thereby ensuring only the best quality is workmanship, design and materials.
Conveniently located off Interstate 95, half-way between Boston and New York, Craft Expo draws from a sophisticated and informed audience. Returning artists are able to connect with their regular customers each year, and new artists may establish the ground work for future collaborations with other artists, find customers for commission work, or find new buyers and collectors for their current work.

your right the prices are insane.
Good Lord! The booth fees keep getting more and more insane! And the jury fees have inched up as well. The shows' expenses can't have increased that much. They're charging these prohibitive amounts because they know someone will pay them. Meanwhile, many artists are being forced out of business by an unsettled economy, changing buying habits, and just plain inability to balance between income and outgo. The high fees just nail the coffin.
