BMAC Presents Merit Awards

By Staff -- Gifts and Dec, 6/30/2009 3:35:00 PM

Baltimore, MD — The Buyers Market of American Craft (BMAC) is presenting Merit Awards to eight emerging craft artists and will showcase their work at the upcoming Buyers Market, August 1-3, at the Pennsylvania Convention Center in Philadelphia, PA. 

“Our goal is to help emerging artists bring their creations to market successfully,” says Christine Kloostra, director of the Buyers Market, which is produced by The Rosen Group, based in Baltimore. “Many artists have fresh ideas and unique products, but lack the capital to attend shows where they can sell their creations to the nation’s galleries and gift shops. Our Merit Award program helps beginners make their tradeshow debut.”

The 2009 Merit Award winners of the Buyers Market of American Craft are:

  • Curviture, the handcrafted furniture studio of Jason Green, Boone, NC

  • Delias Thompson,  jewelry designer, Atlanta

  • Dovetail, the printed ceramics studio of Josh and Margaret Smith, Lexington, KY

  • Erica Stankwytch Bailey, contemporary metalsmith and jewelry designer, Fayetteville, NC

  • Jon Goldberg, East Falls Glassworks, Philadelphia, PA

  • Gallery Blue/Michelle Mardis, original paintings, Tarpon Springs, FL

  • Nora Dougherty, jewelry designer, Santa Cruz, CA

  • Pamela Lauz Jewellery, jewelry designer, Oakville, ON

Winners receive tradeshow exhibit space at a fraction of cost, plus assistance with marketing their designs to handcraft retailers.

Green products have become more of a staple now. The products are not only good for the environment, today's collections also boast great design.

Just for Fun

Vendors' sense of fun was evident this summer with many offering light-hearted and fun accessories for the home and for the self.
