The show,which runs through Sunday,November 9,will feature 195 of the nation's finest craft artists, all selected through a highly competitive jury process. This is a rare opportunity for the public to see and purchase one-of-a-kind works in glass, ceramics, wood, wearable art, jewelry, and other craft mediums.
Beyond the aisles of stunning artwork, the show will host on-site demonstrations and special fashion presentations. This weekend's schedule includes:
- Fit To Be Tied: A scarf and shawl tying presentation (Friday, November 7 at 1 p.m.)
- Find Your Style Fashion Show: A runway show featuring select designers from this year's show (Saturday, November 8 at 1 p.m.)
Established in 1977,the show is the first retail craft show in the nation organized by a volunteer committee —the Women's Committee of the Philadelphia Museum of Art —to benefit a non-profit institution.
While the artists keep 100% of the sales from their work, all ticket sales from the show directly benefit the Philadelphia Museum of Art, supporting museum initiatives and community programs.
