The American Craft Exposition is Now Accepting Entries
One hundred and forty artisans will be chosen to exhibit at the Chicago Botanical Gardens in Sept. 2017.
Chicago--The American Craft Exposition now is accepting entries for the 2017 show, taking place in September at the Chicago Botanical Gardens in Glencoe, Illinois.
Approximately 140 artisans will be chosen to exhibit their jewelry, ceramics, metal, fiber wearables, glass, furniture, fiber decorative, leather, wood, mixed media, basketry and paper art.
The show is hosted by The Auxiliary of NorthShore University HealthSystem (NorthShore).
The three-day event is open to the public and encompasses a sale and juried exposition with a special category for emerging artists, defined as first-time ACE exhibitors who have been working in their craft for less than six years.
Last year, ACE attracted 7,500 visitors.
The deadline to submit an application is March 10 via JuriedArtServices.com.
Tickets to attend the expo are $30 in advance for a single three-day pass and $45 for two three-day passes.
ACE is run entirely by volunteers and ticket proceeds will go to NorthShore’s Orthopaedic Regenerative Medicine Research initiative and Pharmacogenomics Research initiative.
