After a two-year hiatus due to Covid, the Guilford Art Center is thrilled to announce that Craft Expo 2022, its annual contemporary craft and art show, will return to the Guilford Green! Held July 15-17, 2022, 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 Fiber for the Home, Metal, Mixed Media, Paper, Painting, Photography, Printmaking, Soap 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 art-making 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 music, live craft demonstrations by Guilford Art Center faculty and students, and sale of Guilford Art Center student work. Shop-til-you-drop then enjoy yummy small batch gourmet specialties to snack on or bring home like gourmet nut butters, hand-painted chocolates and bourbon barrel-aged maple syrup. Plus, handmade soaps and beauty products and much more!
Craft Expo is the Guilford Art Center’s single most important fundraiser, providing proceeds that support all of its educational and community programming.
