Fall 2010 Application

Enjoy the Sugarloaf Difference

Each Sugarloaf Crafts Festival brings together hundreds of fine artists and contemporary craftspeople with thousands of appreciative collectors and patrons in a fun-filled marketplace. We seek both established and emerging artists to enjoy the buying power of long-established markets and the ease of participating in the professionally managed Sugarloaf shows. All shows are 100% indoors except Gaithersburg which has indoor, barn and outdoor spaces.

Marketing for Results

A specialized marketing campaign is designed for each show and specific
time of year. We combine a significant direct mail outreach to tens of thousands of past attendees and collectors with advertising in a mix of print, internet and billboards. Additionally, we provide a public relations outreach designed to publicize our fascinating exhibitors as the stars of the show and build the buzz leading up to each festival.

Great Show Locations

In 2010, every show has to count. It’s not a time to experiment with unknown promoters and untested show locations. Sugarloaf brings you tried and true shows in strong markets that have been delivering sales for decades. Perhaps 2010 is the year for you to become a part of the Sugarloaf Community.
