Description:

The Sugarloaf Craft Festivals are now accepting applications from artists and craftspeople in all media for its Fall 2015 show in Gaithersburg, MD on October 16-18, 2015 at the Montgomery County Fairgrounds.

Last year, more than 155,000 visitors spent more than $14 million at Sugarloaf Craft Festivals.

Booth space is available at every show in all categories, including fiber and fashion, photography, fine art, furniture, ceramics and pottery, blown and leaded glass, metal, leather, functional and decorative wood, and jewelry. Jurying for the Fall 2015 shows begins in January and continues on a rolling basis until each show is filled. Artists are encouraged to apply as soon as possible.

Artists displaying their work in Sugarloaf Craft Festivals become members of a highly talented community of artists which is eagerly embraced by thousands of appreciative and generous patrons. Sugarloaf exhibitors agree that there is no better place than the "Sugarloaf Community" for artists seeking a convenient, reliable and profitable place to display and sell their work. Participation in Sugarloaf Craft Festivals allows artists to select the shows that fit their schedule and build a successful business on their own terms, much like having their own "pop-up" retail store but without any of the headaches and hassles. During the three days of each show, over 10,000 people are there to see and buy!

Sugarloaf makes it easy for artists to become part of this fun community and sell their work, with booth fee discounts, flexible payment options and convenient show setup. Sugarloaf also actively markets its shows through significant advertising, visible media, and a strong social media presence.
