Events at this location

Craft Expo is one of the most successful and long-running craft shows in America. Over 175 modern makers from across the country will display and sell their fine craft in a variety of media, including Clay, Food, Glass, Leather, Metal and Non-Metal Jewelry, Wearable and Non-Wearable Fiber, Metal, Mixed Media, Painting, Photography, Printmaking, and Wood.

“We are so happy to welcome back our artists and supporters to the
Guilford green this summer for Craft Expo” says Maureen Belden, GAC Executive
Director. “There is great excitement to gather together again and to experience
art and artmaking in person. People tell us one of the greatest parts of their
Craft Expo experience is interacting with the artists and learning more about
their work and creative process. And the artists are also so thankful to be
able to share their work with our visitors. It will be a very positive
experience for everyone involved.”

Popular activities for Craft Expo visitors include a Family Art
Tent for young visitors, silent auction of exhibitor-donated work, live craft
demonstrations by Guilford Art Center faculty and students, and sale of
Guilford Art Center student work. Attendees can enjoy a snack or meal in the
food truck area, which will also feature live musical entertainment throughout
the weekend.

Craft Expo is the Guilford Art Center’s single most important
fundraiser, providing proceeds that support all of its educational and
community programming.
