Apply April 1 - May 1, 2022
This program will bring contemporary craft artists from around the country together in a directory designed to share their work and their story and offer opportunities to participate in exclusive online marketplace events. Artists will be promoted to our targeted craft audience of over 60,000 email subscribers and 100,000 social media followers. Directory artists will also be the first to be considered for partnerships and collaborations as they arise.
Our e-commerce platform has reached over 160,000 visitors and generated over $617,000 in revenue for participating artists since the launch in fall
