The Academy Art Museum’s 26th Annual Craft Show features over 60 artists from across the United States on October 28 & 29, 2023, with a special Preview Event on October 27. Located in beautiful, historic Easton, Maryland, the show takes place inside the Academy Art Museum, the Waterfowl Festival Building directly across the street, and the newly created Craft Show Marketplace outdoor show that connects the buildings. AAM welcomes an array of returning artists and first-time exhibitors in a variety of mediums. This is truly a show by artists for artists.
The Academy Art Museum Craft Show’s mission is to provide exceptional hospitality to our new and returning exhibitors. To support that effort, the following is complimentary: housing (on a request basis and subject to availability), porter services at both set-up and break-down, weekend parking, artist dinner on the Saturday evening of the Show, listing in the Show program and on the Show website, featured social media spotlight at least once prior to the Show dates.
With nearly a third of the participants exhibiting for the first time, we typically attract over 2,000 people to the weekend event, and we hope to introduce more patrons to our event this year. All proceeds from fees and generous community sponsorships directly support the Museum’s mission of providing meaningful art experiences and education to the Mid-Shore of Maryland.
We are excited to announce a one-day outdoor component to the Academy Art Museum Craft Show: The Craft Show Marketplace. Outdoor booths will be available on the street that connects the two buildings of the Craft Show. This will give more artists the opportunity to participate in a highly visible space as well as adding an extra level of interest to patrons attending the show.
