ACW Launches Cultural Tourism Initiative

American Craft Week is a great tourist magnet! Using examples from across the country, we have created an ACW Tourism Kit that tells you how you can make this celebration a fun and profitable event for your town, region or state.

Funded by our Fall 2013 Kickstarter campaign, the kit is housed in a fun suitcase folder. It contains our basic 2014 Participant and Sponsor brochures, plus the all-important Roadmap.   The Roadmap highlights five distinct areas of the country which have had successful ACW events. Then it goes through a step-by-step process you can use to create your own custom craft-centered tourist event.

The Cultural Tourism kit is perfect for arts and entertainment districts, arts councils, tourism officials, and convention and visitor bureaus. If you need one, or know someone who does, let us know at info@Americancraftweek.com.


Congratulations

Concratulations to CRAFT member Nancy Landwehr, of The Spirited Hand, who won the CERF+ raffle at The American Made Show in Philadelphia. Nancy won 2 free hotel nights for next years show in Washington, DC.
