| SNAG is a Major Sponsor of American Craft Week | | 
SNAG has again signed on as a Major Sponsor of American Craft Week. It was launched in 2010 as a collaborative effort between CRAFT (Craft Retailers and Artists for Tomorrow) and Craft in America, and is now held annually the first full week of October, including the two weekends on either side of that week. American Craft Week recognizes the countless ways handmade objects enrich our daily lives and contribute to our national aesthetic and economy.
You are invited to be part of American Craft Week. If you create, sell, display, promote, collect or just plain love American craft, please join the celebration. Hundreds of craft-related events take place across the country, all independently planned and produced by participants, and marketed under the banner of American Craft Week. Go to www.americancraftweek.com, click on Participants/Events to find a listing of what's happening by state. If you would like to become a participant and host your own event, click the "Get Involved" tab to sign up. |

| 2011 SNAG Election - Board Candidate: Anthony Tammaro | | |
Each week we are profiling a different candidate for the 2011 SNAG Election.
 Anthony Tammaro is a designer of couture and production jewelry who takes advantage of a number of technological and material advances developed over the past decade. These include 3D-modeling software, and a number of additive production processes which allow for creativity in form and function unattainable by typical production means.
He holds a BFA as a Crafts major at The University of Arts in Philadelphia, is a graduate of the Masters Course of Industrial Design at Domus Academy in Milan, Italy, and an MFA graduate in the Metals-Jewelry-CAD/CAM program at Temple University's Tyler School of Art. His work has been exhibited in galleries including Velvet Da Vinci (San Francisco, CA), Gallery Loupe (Mont Clair, NJ), Gallery Guyomarch (Montreal, Canada), and Friends of Carlotta (Zurich, CH).
