American Craft Week
October
4-13, 2013 Marks Fourth Celebration
This fall, Americans in all 50 states will be celebrating
the art of handmade craft. From Oct. 4 to 13, American Craft Week will feature
hundreds of diverse events in galleries and artist studios, museums and
schools, as well as at fairs and festivals.
“American Craft Week shows us how craft enhances our lives,
makes us feel good and brings people together,” said Diane Sulg, co-chair of
American Craft Week. “By taking part in the celebration, people are joining in
on the trend of buying products made in America while shopping locally.”
Since its inception in 2010, American Craft Week has grown
from 240 to nearly 1000 participating events. “Many regions have found American
Craft Week an excellent way to connect with fall tourists to their area,” said
Sherry Masters, co-chair of American Craft Week. “The celebration brings
together individuals, small businesses and organizations while providing an
opportunity to learn a craft or acquire that one-of-a-kind work of art.”
Involvement in American Craft Week is open to everyone, from
craft artists to retailers to schools and beyond. To learn how to become a
