New in 2008: Mid-Century Modern Comes to the Show We are looking for ways to expand this event and make it better each year. We have expanded this year’s show to include Mid-Century Modern pieces as well. We felt this was a natural progression for this show to grow and expand. Please look for the local dealers who have brought some amazing mid century pieces. If you are not familiar with this movement, please stop by their booth and ask questions.
Now that the show is entering its 9th year, we are proud to offer again this year two full buildings of arts and crafts and mid century dealers. This show has proven to be a highlight for dealers and thus the need to expand. We are now in the Progress Center Building as well as the Fine Arts Building. The Fine Arts Building is located immediately to the east of the Progress Center. One admission price gets you into both buildings. Great quality dealers exhibiting in both buildings. Even more reason to come! Special PromotionDon't forget to sign up for our two give-a-ways. We will be giving away a $200 gift certificate to use with any one of our vendors exhibiting this weekend as well as five free one-year subscriptions to Arts and Crafts Homes Magazine. Also, by signing up you will be placed on our mailing list so we can inform you of future arts and crafts events.
