Producers of the Fine Furnishings Shows in Providence, Rhode Island and Milwaukee, Wisconsin are accepting applications from artisans interested in being invited to exhibit. Each Fine Furnishings Show presents a marketplace for handcrafted furniture, decorative accessories and original art.

Both fine furnishings shows provide a venue for artisans to meet with designers, decorators, members of the home decor media, collectors, and the general public to make direct sales, initiate commissions, and generate publicity about their work. Many dedicated exhibitors have developed long-term relationships with clients they originally met at fine furnishings. The shows are open to artists and designers residing and working in North America who are the principal behind the design and craftsmanship of the work. All work must be originally designed, handcrafted and appropriate for home decor. Artisans interested in applying to exhibit in either or both shows may download an application here or from the website: www.FineFurnishingsShow.com.
Alternatively, they may call 401 841-9201 to have an application faxed or mailed.

Invitations to new applicants will be issued based on type of work, fit with the show, and available space. The show is 60% handcrafted furniture - 30% is handmade accessories and fine art - 10% of the show is guilds, museums, schools with student work and our media partners. The show will be expanding by 50 booths this year.

Both fine furnishings shows are officially endorsed by The Furniture Society, a tax-exempt, nonprofit organization founded in 1996 to support the creation of fine studio furniture that is produced in a small shop environment, rather than a large factory.

The Fine Furnishings Shows are owned and produced by KL Communications, Inc., of Newport, Rhode Island.
