My First Craft Show: Advice from Rea Rossi

In June Sarah received the news that she has been accepted as an Emerging Artist for this year's PMA Craft Show taking place November 9-12th. This will be Sarah's first craft show experience; she's a bit overwhelmed and is hoping Rea can clarify a few details for her. The two jewelers discuss what exactly a craft show is, why they chose to apply, and how much money Sarah can plan on investing into this experience. Doing shows of this caliber is expensive - but the payoff can go far beyond one's bank account. **Corrections: The Philadelphia Museum of Art Craft Show is a project of the Women’s Committee; all proceeds benefit the museum. Dates of this year’s show were incorrectly stated, the show runs from November 9th through the 12th – not the 17th. Lastly, Prize winners receive $1,000, a prize ribbon to hang in their booth and the option to have a place in the show the following year. Those artists still pay the application fee and a booth fee.
