Artisan Craft Fair
Plans for the first Annual Artisans Center of Virginia Artisan Craft Fair are well under way. The work has begun and there is excitement in the air for April of 2008.
This statewide Artisan Craft Fair is being held on Sunday, April 27, 2008, in conjunction with ACV’s Craft Conference and Business institute at the Hotel Roanoke in Roanoke Virginia.
The full one day event is being partly sponsored by the Roanoke Visitor and Convention Bureau and promises to be a grand occasion as we work to ensure the success through numerous networks, public releases and local community supports. We hope to grow this event into become a going concern for artisans across the state as it focuses on our mission of supporting and promoting the quality craft in the state of Virginia.
Artisans who attend the Saturday Conference will receive a special discount off the exhibit fee.
Below you will find the 2008 application and policy documents. Please take the time to review these documents carefully and the rest of our conference web pages so that you are fully informed and understand the scope of the weekend’s activities.

Important Note!

Applications for exhibits will be accepted on a first come first serve basis and will be cataloged by postmark date noted on the forms.
Applications will not be accepted via electronic mail.
All proceeds from the exhibition fees of ACV’s Craft Fair go to support future education events and those that that promote the development of quality craft and the economic vitality of Virginia Artisans.
