 "The process of transforming hot molten glass from the furnace to the beautiful and seductive finished form seems like a life long journey condensed into minutes rather than years and just as quickly it brings with it the frustration of failure and the exhilaration of success. I truly love the call to the challenge, the unexplored paths of beauty and the chair in the garden at the end of the day."

IT'S THE EVENT NOT TO MISS...

AND DON'T MISS THIS DEADLINE EITHER!

The time has come to sign up for CRAFT: The Summit - EAST. Three amazing speakers will alert you to marketplace trends, teach you how to become a newsmaker, and how to create your own exceptional retail success. Companies both large and small pay for their advice every day, and now you have a chance to have a chance to learn from them and save money, too.


Don't miss this opportunity! Included in this offer is a complimentary wine and cheese reception on Thursday evening where you can mingle with retailers, artists and the speakers! On Friday you will be energized, inspired and ready to move your business to new heights. A delicious buffet lunch is included. A FREE SHUTTLE bus will be leaving directly after CRAFT: The Summit - EAST for New York City where you can enjoy the evening and be ready for the opening of NY Now on Saturday morning. The FREE shuttle is co-sponsored by NY Now and CRAFT and will deliver you to the Marriott Marquis in Times Square.

Reservations needed.

The Summit cost is just $109 for CRAFT members and ACRE Northeast exhibitors, and there is a special non-member price of $129. But hurry, this offer expires JULY 15! Log on now to www.CRAFTTheSummit.com to take advantage of this special offer and unique opportunity to accelerate your business.

Call for Booth Numbers

Because they are so close together, we will be doing one email with information for both ACRE Northeast and NY NOW. If you have a booth at either show, please send your booth number and any show specials to rani@randomactsart.com by Wednesday, August 6th.
Dallas Market Center and the producers of the American Made Show announced the plans for the American Made Show to debut in Dallas as part of the Total Home & Gift Market. The American Made Show will be held June 25-28, 2015 as part of Dallas' summer market, June 24-30, 2015.
 
Show management from each respective organization will continue to be responsible for exhibit sales and buyer pre-registration. Exhibit space will be initially offered by invitation later this summer to current exhibitors of the American Made Show's January Market in Washington, D.C. Inquiries for exhibiting opportunities should be directed to sales@rosengrp.com.
