America Craft Made: Baltimore

Winter is receding into a frosty memory — theoretically, that is — and as the days get nice and long and the air a little warmer, community events are springing back into action. That in mind, I wanted to take this quick blog post to highlight an upcoming Baltimore event: American Craft Made, coming to our fair city’s Convention Center from March 15-17th of this year!

American Craft Made is a series of markets produced by the American Craft Council, a nonprofit whose aim is to support artists and their craft. Baltimore is the flagship marketplace of the ACC — this year will be its 47th year! The Baltimore marketplace features the work of local artists and craftspeople, and is an immersive, interactive experience designed to showcase our plethora of wonderful local work. There are some changes to the marketplace this year — including these new springtime dates — that are sure to brighten your experience! The marketplace’s entrance has been moved to the gorgeous Charles Street lobby, with its brilliant natural sunlight and fresh fountains, right at street level. Plus, the ACC has upgraded the event floor plan to include cozy visitors’ lounges (for anytime you want to sit a spell).

The marketplace features vendors and artists of all ilks — you can expect to find ceramics, clothing, furniture, glassware, studio art, basketry, woodcrafts, fine jewelry, and more. All work is handmade and reflective of the unique vision of its maker or community. You’ll find pieces like no other here! The marketplace also offers hands-on activities with local crafters, so you can really get the full artist experience.

This is one of my favorite Baltimore events — I never go without finding some unique, lovely piece that I’m sure to cherish. For those of you in the DMV, I’d say, come check it out!

And if you’ve got that eye for the unique — the personal, the custom, the you — send me an email anytime, and we can bring that brilliant individuality to your home!

All that said — hope to see you there!
