American Craft Week is growing each year. This year it has already surpassed 600 participants, but still hasn't reached it's goal of participants in all 50 states. YOU CAN HELP!

Check the Participant List.  Is your business listed? If not, SIGN UP! Your participation doesn't have to be a huge event. It could be as simple as an email or Facebook campaign. The participation fee is waived for CRAFT members.

Encourage others in your community to participate. The more participants, the easier it is to make an impact. Get your community talking about handmade in America.

Help us fill the missing states. Artists, do you sell to a gallery or shop in one of these states? Retailers, do you buy from an artist in one of these states? Send them an email about American Craft Week & invite them to participate. The missing states are:

Alabama
Hawaii
Louisiana
Nebraska
Arkansas
Illinois
Michigan
New Mexico
Colorado
Idaho
Mississippi
Oklahoma
Georgia
Indiana
Montana
Wyoming

 
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, July 30th.

  

There's still time to sign up for CRAFT: The Summit. Check out the great offer from ACRE at www.craftthesummit.com.

And keep in mind the FREE Shuttle to NY Marriott Marquis in Times Square at 3pm Friday, co-sponsored by NYNow and CRAFT.  If you want to ride the shuttle, please reserve your FREE ticket here.

In case you missed it
