This show of Art by Hand serves as the Museum's largest yearly fundraising event and is devoted to bringing wide public attention to the field of craft art. Cumulative 45-year contribution: $14 million. Categories include basketry, ceramics, emerging artists, fiber decorative, fiber wearable, furniture, glass, jewelry, leather, metal, mixed media, paper and wood.
With our new website we can include artists' videos as well as maintain an online directory listing that includes images and link to artists' websites and shops from July to May of following year.
The PMA Craft Show has an emerging artist category, which is a good opportunity for contemporary craft artists who are beginning their career to apply to the show. Artists who have been working at their craft for six years or less may apply, and if accepted as emerging artists, there is a reduced booth fee.
People were genuinely happy to be back at the show, both exhibitors and attendees.
- The best part was the honor of being chosen to participate and the publicity surrounding the event.
- It was my first time there so I didn’t know what to expect. If I can say anything, all of my expectations were exceeded!
- My sales were the best I have had, in 20+ years of doing art shows!
- I received several gallery representation offers, and one from an interior design firm
- My TiK Tok of the Show got 160k views in 3 days, had great sales from it.
- Tell you how much website contact I am continuing to get that I believe is a direct connection from your website. It's amazing...and so generous of ya'll to extend it into then Spring.
