Sugarloaf Crafts Festival in Gaithersburg, MD
Montgomery County Fairgrounds
Entry Deadline: Aug. 29
Sugarloaf Craft Festivals is now accepting applications from artists and craftspeople for its Spring 2016 season of shows. Talented artists and craftspeople working in all mediums will have the opportunity to offer their work to excited patrons in five of the nation’s most lucrative markets:
Last year, more than 150,000 visitors spent more than $14 million at Sugarloaf Craft Festivals.
Booth space is available at every show in all categories, including fiber and fashion, photography, fine art, furniture, ceramics and pottery, blown and leaded glass, metal, leather, functional and decorative wood, and jewelry. Jurying for the Spring 2016 shows begins in late-August.
Now in its 40th year, Sugarloaf continues to build a talented community of artists whose arrival is eagerly anticipated in every market by 10,000 visitors or more. Sugarloaf’s reputation as a convenient, reliable and profitable place to display and sell work attracts new talent and keeps artists coming back for decades. The opportunity to select shows and booth sizes offers artists the benefits of a “pop-up” retail store without any of the headaches and hassles.
Discounts on booth fees, flexible payment options and convenient show setup reflect Sugarloaf’s experience and commitment to accommodating the needs of artists.
Through traditional advertising, media exposure and digital marketing, Sugarloaf ensures a steady stream of visitors of all ages.
Applications are accepted on a rolling basis until show is filled.
