ACC Baltimore Wholesale/Retail Show
February 2015
The American Craft Council has invited SNAG to participate in their Artist
Invitational Program for their 2015 Baltimore show. This year SNAG has decided
to require an application of interest along with submission of images of your work
in order to be considered. Applications will be juried and the program is limited to
10 artists. This opportunity is open to any current SNAG member.
Applications are due to grukenbrod@snagmetalsmith.org by July 1, 2014.
Artists chosen will be expected to attend and sell work at the ACC Baltimore
show. You may choose wholesale, retail, or both. Please note that chosen
participants will still need to pay for their booth space (which you may share with
another artist if so chosen) and all travel. You don’t have to jury into the show
with the general applicants nor pay an application fee.
Artist chosen will be given access to online resources where they can have their
questions answered and learn more about what it entails to set up and sell from a
booth. Each accepted applicant can be partnered with an existing ACC artist, if
desired, for help on any issues that may arise or questions you may have.
Please fill out the attached form and submit five (5) digital images of your work,
along with a price sheet listing both wholesale, if applicable, and retail prices of
the submitted images.
Please email any questions to grukenbrod@snagmetalsmith.org.
There is no application fee.
Applications are due July 1, 2014.
Notification of Acceptance August 1, 2014.
