Taking place October 1 - 10, American Craft Week is a 50 state craft festival aimed at celebrating all things handmade. The goal is to introduce the public to artisans for whom crafting is a business.
"American Craft enriches our homes, offices and public spaces," said Diane Sulg, co-chair of American Craft Week. "It is estimated that craft contributes in excess of $14 billion to the nation's economy and our balance of trade. It is the fabric of our national history. It is original, beautiful and enduring. It is time to tell the world about American craft."
If you're interested in marketing your arts and crafts as part of this grassroots movement, visit the American Craft Week web site for marketing materials and resources, including the American Craft Week logo, banner, website and cooperative advertising.
