The Chelsea Craft Invitational is a curated arts and craft show that features up to 100 of the areas best artisans. Beautiful functional and decorative work. Wearables, garden art, and item to refresh your home for Spring.
The Chelsea Invitational Craft Show is returning after a five year hiatus. This successful event had been put on hold because there were some issues with dates at the former school venue. Now indoors at the Chelsea Fairgrounds, just a few blocks off of I-94, we can be assured of being the first weekend of May every year.
The event attracts well of suburban people from the Ann Arbor area. Traditional and decorative work has traditionally done the best in this market. Frankly the show works best as a mix of "county crafters" with fine arts people. Work under $200 sells well and we have not been as successful with higher ticket art.
We suggest that this show is great for those artists within 300 mile, those that have a strong Ann Arbor list that they want to tap into a second time annually, or those that need a show to complete their routing.
This event is organized and promoted by Mark Loeb of Integrity Shows, an established promoter of Metro Detroit area shows, including the Royal Oak Clay, Glass & Metal Show and Funky Ferndale.
