Our goal is a simple one – to shine a bright spotlight on handmade American craft and the people who create it! For eleven years now, we have asked everyone who is part of our craft world to join together for ten days in October and celebrate by holding events at their location. Put the details of your event on the ACW website and to help promote it.

This year our challenge is even greater. Because of the pandemic, most of us cannot encourage the public to crowd our spaces. Yet there is no doubt we need to promote our industry more than ever. Galleries, artists, museums and craft groups need an even brighter spotlight now, and we want to help.

If your store or studio has been impacted by COVID19, participating in ACW and listing your event on our website will provide you a marketing tool to bring customers to your real or virtual event(s). Show folks what’s new, mount an interesting e-commerce event, hold a contest, or lead a tour. Feature an artist, a trunk show, or a sale for charity. We are the creatives, so the possibilities are endless. Join today (for free!) and celebrate the joys of handmade October 2-11, 2020.

Each year American Craft Week recognizes exceptional creative work in its annual Artists’ Contest. The 2020 theme clearly resonated as this contest drew the largest number of submissions ever. We salute everyone who entered – you truly made our judging a very difficult process!

In evaluating the entries, The National ACW Committee looked for impressive craftsmanship and design excellence in the piece, quality photographs, and an artist’s statement that solidly related their work to the COVID19 theme. Congratulations to all the Winners! Your work amazed us, as did your generosity to so many charitable causes. You make the world more colorful, fun, thoughtful, interesting, and a much better place!
