National Arts & Crafts Conference and Show

The National Arts & Crafts Conference and Show is an annual gathering that celebrates the American Arts and Crafts movement by bringing together makers, designers, scholars, and collectors for lectures, demonstrations, and a juried exhibition of contemporary craft. It takes place at The Omni Grove Park Inn in Asheville, North Carolina, using the hotel's historic Arts & Crafts–style setting as a backdrop. The event is notable for combining scholarly programming with a marketplace and exhibition of high-quality handcrafted furniture, metalwork, ceramics, textiles, and decorative arts that attract regional and national artisans.
