For that reason, the event is only open to active Crafts Center participants who must be regularly involved in the Crafts Center’s program – that is, a student, instructor or studio member who has been active within the past three years. No outside crafts people or vendors will be accepted. All work must be the exhibitor’s own and must be representative of some aspect of the Crafts Center’s program.
