EXPERIENCE
FINE CRAFT AT THE GWCC |
Experience
the latest in the world of fine craft at the
American Craft Council's 17th Annual Atlanta
Fine Craft Show at the Georgia World Congress
Center. As the largest juried fine craft show
in the Southeast, the show features 250 of
the nation's premier craft artists and offers
a variety of mediums including clothing and
fashion accessories, jewelry, leather, decorative
fiber, glass, ceramics, wood, metal and mixed
media. Attendees will enjoy purchasing creations
directly from the artists and hearing the
stories behind each piece of art.
The American Craft Council is based in New
York and produces six shows each year. Founded
in 1943, the mission of the ACC is to explore
the rich culture of American craft and to
educate the public about the art of fine craft.
Attendees will enjoy the best in art and design
and the largest selection of museum-quality
craft in the Southeast. The Atlanta Homes
& Lifestyles Home Design Series is a new
feature for this year and includes seminars
and walking tours lead by some of the city's
most prestigious interior designers. The show
is a great opportunity for interior designers
to meet with clients for home décor
shopping and to commission pieces from the
artists.
