Location

Gaithersburg

Dates

October 14, 2016 - October 16, 2016

Description:

Sugarloaf Craft Festivals is now accepting applications for its Fall 2016 season. Artists and craftspeople working in all mediums will meet more than 10,000 eager buyers at each stop as visitors shop for fall wardrobes, dÃ©cor and holiday gifts.

Jurying for the Fall 2016 shows begins January 9, 2016 and continues on a rolling basis until each show is filled.

Sugarloaf artists have access to thousands of qualified, buying customers walking right in front of their booths. No other form of advertising brings artists face to face with so many buyers of original art and craft creations in just three days.

Artists select the shows and dates that fit their schedule and build a successful business on their terms. It's like having a three-day pop-up retail store. With professionally managed shows, helpful show staff always available, easy move in and move out, friendly exhibitors and no surprises, artists can relax and enjoy the show.

Last year, more than 150,000 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.

Artists can apply online at www.********.*** using the search term "Sugarloaf." A paper application can be downloaded at http://********.***/becomeex.html.
