Ohio Designer Craftsmen is a nonprofit organization dedicated to promoting fine craft for 50 years. The goals of its fairs, exhibitions, education programs and publications are to establish a standard of excellence in craft, encourage creative growth, provide professional support to craftspeople, and build public awareness, appreciation and collection of fine craft.

Artist Eligibility/Show Policies

• Artist must be present on each day of the show.
• Work must be of original concept, design and execution; no kits, commercial molds, or buy-resell.
• Work must be handmade by the exhibitor him/herself. Absolutely no buy/sell will be accepted. An on-site juror will monitor compliance.
• Only work of individual or collaborating artists may be shown and sold. Collaborating artists may show only their joint work.
• Images submitted for jurying must be representative of the majority of work to be exhibited and sold in terms of both quality and price range. Jurors use booth images to judge overall appearance and make-up of your display.

Studios where the applicant artist designs the work and creates it along with assistants qualify if:
• The studio has no more than six full-time (or equivalent part-time) assistants (not including non-artist employees such as office help).
• The studio adheres to the above outlined stipulations regarding actual production of work.
