The Philadelphia Museum of Art Craft Show offers a special opportunity to the public to meet the country’s finest craft artists and to learn about and purchase their work. The show is the premier exhibition and sale of craft in the country. It will showcase the work of 195 craft artists, carefully selected from 530 applicants in a highly competitive jury process.

The crafts exhibited embrace a striking variety of forms and functions, including: glass, baskets, jewelry, both wearable and decorative fiber, metal, paper, leather, furniture, ceramic, wood, and mixed media.

The Philadelphia Museum of Art Craft Show is presented annually by The Philadelphia

Museum of Art Women’s Committee for the benefit of the Philadelphia Museum of Art.

The event attracts 10,000 visitors to the Pennsylvania Convention Center in Philadelphia over a

period of three days. Funds raised are used to purchase works of art and craft for the

permanent collections, to support education programs, and to contribute to conservation and

publication projects.
