| Whether
your craft is woodworking, jewelry, quilting, sewing, painting, pottery,
or weaving, craft shows let you position your craftwork to potential buyers
seeking one-of-a-kind, collectible arts and crafts items. Craft shows
can be found all over the U.S, but it not all craft shows are well- attended
and not all craft fairs are right for all crafts.
For
example, country craft shows bring in crowds who typically expect to pay
between $5 and $50 for craft items with country designs. Fine arts and
crafts shows attract buyers who may pay hundreds of dollars for quality
art or craftwork.
We
compiled a list below of craft fairs and shows guides and listings. Some
are local, some cover regions and a few review craft shows all around
the U.S.
To know if a craft
show is a potential winner for you, go and visit it firsthand. If its
a local event, definitely check it out before applying for a booth. Check
out the busy booths and decide if your crafts look like they would sell.
