Early Career Artist Support Program

New program launching 2025.

Coming soon, ACC will offer a new way for early-career artists to access a diverse array of support–from educational resources to booth discounts, and much more.

Reimagining maker support for the future.

Since 2015, ACC has offered a number of resource-focused programs centered on early-career artists. These activities have made it possible for early-career artists to break into the national craft show ecosystem, beginning with participation in American Craft Made Baltimore, our flagship event and the largest juried craft show on the East Coast. 

The new Early Career Artist Support Program will provide various resources, including discounted emerging artist booths, free access to past and upcoming Craft Lab workshops, and much more. Ultimately, this program will deepen the pool of artists who can access truly transformative experiences and opportunities nationwide through ACC’s events, programs, and partnerships.
