Crafts America shows are open to all craft artists who reside and work in the United States.

Whether one-of-a-kind or limited production, work should reflect the individuality of the artist.

Crafts America booth fees vary for each show. Please refer to the application form for each show, or contact Crafts America directly at 203-254-0486.

Jurors' selections are based on the level of technical skill, quality of workmanship, and originality of design as represented in images submitted. Juried work represents a broad spectrum of media, technique, and creative design. However, only the following categories of contemporary fine art are eligible:

Categories not accepted: calligraphy, fine arts such as painting, photography, lithography, etc., except when incorporated into an otherwise acceptable craft category; dried flower arrangements; pressed flowers; seed and pod decorations; cut bottles and embellished objects such as painted boxes, stones, shells, buttons. Objects made from commercial kits or commercially available plans are also not acceptable.

Cash awards will be presented in recognition of outstanding work at the show. See each show's "General Information" page for more.

Show security will be provided on premises both day and night, however, each artist exhibits at his or her own risk and should carry appropriate insurance.
