The Philadelphia Museum of Art Craft Show, the premier show and sale of contemporary craft and design, has supported a variety of programs, publications, and acquisitions of the Philadelphia Museum of Art since 1977.

All of the museum-quality work is for sale and each artist receives 100% of their sale proceeds.

The Philadelphia Museum of Art is the Show’s sole beneficiary. When you purchase a ticket to the Philadelphia Museum of Art Craft Show or become a sponsor of the Show, you are directly supporting the work of the Philadelphia Museum of Art. Thanks to your support, the Craft Show has contributed more than $13.5 million over the past 44 years.

Selected by an esteemed panel of jurors, the 2021 Craft Show will feature 170 of the finest craft artists in the United States in person at the Pennsylvania Convention Center with an additional 25 artists participating online only. The 195 talented artists represent a vast array of work in 13 diverse categories of art created by hand. In addition, we welcome select student artists from local universities to exhibit and share their work with the public.
