The American Craft Council
Fort Mason Center
San Francisco, CA
August 14-16, 2009


The American Craft Council is now accepting AltCraft applications for our show in San Francisco! Show dates are August 14-16. Sixteen makers will be juried into this bustling section, which celebrates the innovative handmade movement. This is an opportunity for talented artists and indie designers to gain national exposure at a well-established show.

Located at Fort Mason Center on the San Francisco waterfront between Fisherman’s Wharf and the Golden Gate Bridge, this show features 250 artists and serves a well-established audience of over 10,000 Bay Area
craft enthusiasts.

The average booth is valued at $1,000 but as part of the Council’s commitment to indie crafters, the cost of participation is just $350, which includes a 10-ft skirted table, electricity and lighting trusses in a shared loft space. Plus, there’s no application fee!

Applicants are eligible only if they have NOT shown in an American Craft Council show previously. Embellished commercially-bought objects (e.g., tee shirts, note cards, etc.) are not eligible.

The deadline is Monday, April 27.

Please submit:

A brief description of your work (materials, dimensions, techniques)

Your contact information (mailing and email addresses)

Send submissions and inquiries to Erika at altcraft@craftcouncil.org.
