Testimonials

"To all of you at the Woodlands Arts Council:

My hat goes off to each of you for your tireless efforts in organizing, promoting, and producing such a great showcase for the best in fine contemporary crafts. I have systematically exhibited at most of the best fine craft shows for the last 45 years and was very impressed with the rare talent you put together. Your attention to every detail was most impressive, both for the exhibiting artists and the public alike. I did not hear one artist complain about anything which is rare. Fine crafts belong indoors. You probably won’t find $3,000 one-of-a-kind coats at an outdoor event.

I am certain the show will grow nicely with time. I for one will look forward to this outstanding experience again next year. This show deserves to become an exemplary pre-holiday tradition in the Woodlands, to be cherished by all in attendance." Jan Mayer, Wearable Art

“We wanted to let you know just how much we appreciate all of you and your team's efforts in putting on this indoor event. And please also know that it is you and your team that make wonderful things like this happen for us artists. I would never have been noticed by the Houston Museum of Natural Science if not for all the work you guys put into making and promoting this and other art shows. Y’all are the best!!” -Steven & Lynn Potts, Wood

There are no other fine craft shows of this caliber in Texas. Do not miss this opportunity to share your talent with us!

“Fine craft is in our blood; a part of our soul going far back into history. Combining skills producing items for survival (clothing, tools, furniture, etc.) with meaning and beauty we end up with fine craft. It resonates with our core and brings us comfort – and sometimes reflection. Our lives are significantly enriched when we embrace fine craft into our daily activities. Hosting the Texas Fine Craft Show in The Woodlands provides an opportunity for everyone to be introduced to those fundamental roots from our past – and see how they remain part of us now and going forward to future generations.”

-Glen Rector, TWAC Board President

As the producers of the renowned The Woodlands Waterway Arts Festival, we are thrilled to expand our large event offerings and to bring something one-of-kind to Texas and the geographic south.
