American Craft Week
Our Sponsor Drive is underway!

This year we have a new level of sponsorship, Creative Sponsor. This sponsorship is designed for artists, studios, galleries and shop. It will be listed on the American Craft Week website and in some print advertising. As a committee composed of volunteers, the $250 sponsorships enable us to undertake a vigorous public relations campaign to educate the general public about American craft. If you are interested in being a sponsor, or receiving more information about sponsorship, please email info@americancraftweek.com.

Participant Sign Up
Early participant sign up will help us get sponsorship. Please check the participant list to make sure your listing is there and that the information is correct. If your listing is missing, please sign up again. If there is an error with your listing, please email info@americancraftweek.com.

If you haven't signed up, remember that as a CRAFT member, your listing is free. Get over to the website and sign up! You can leave your event blank & add it later.

Images
We are still looking for high res images for use in advertising, brochures and to make available to the media. We need images or artwork, artists at work, festivals and gallery events. If you have images that we can add to our collection, please email them to photos@americancraftweek.com.

At the end of the survey, responding retailers will have the opportunity to enter to win one of two $100 American Express gift cards!
