"Support American Craftspeople"

The craft show industry and America's artisans are feeling the effects of cheap, imported knock offs now being sold in every mega-retail store and catalog throughout the U.S.

With this major issue at hand, we, as promoters, will continue our efforts in creating awareness and appreciation for all American artists and craftspeople.

Please join us at the next show where you will find some of the most creative and exciting handcrafts and fine art exhibited anywhere in Virginia this season.
