The 35th Annual American Craft Council Show is scheduled to take place beginning Thursday, Feb. 24th at 10 a.m. at the Baltimore Convention Center.
This is the largest juried, indoor craft show in the nation. Each participant is picked through rigorous jury process and hail from all across the United States as well as Canada.
For only $15, you can view handmade creations by more than seven hundred contemporary craft artists. Crafts include jewelry, clothing, furniture, green craft and home décor.
Take the time to pick something out for your dorm room among everything available; something will surely strike your fancy.
There’s something for everyone here among the one-of-a-kind items.
In addition to the regular items, maybe you’ll find something in some of the special show features and categories:
Greencraft (crafts incorporating recycled or found materials), School-to-Market (crafts by students of California College of the Arts) and Altcraft (crafts which illustrate innovative techniques and materials of the new handmade craft movement) to name a few.
