American Craft Council members get to shop Craft Week first

San Francisco Bay Area Craft Week runs from Monday, September 7 through Sunday, September 13, with an online marketplace featuring 130 artists and their handmade wares starting on Thursday.

ACC members are invited to be the first to shop the marketplace starting at 3 p.m. PT on Wednesday, September 9. This is an amazing opportunity for members to purchase the unique and limited work offered by ACC makers ahead of the general public.

Additionally, ACC will debut the Craft Week platform and welcome members to the San Francisco Bay Area craft community with an exciting online party starting at 3 p.m. The party’s program will feature local curators, tastemakers, and artists sharing what they’re excited to see in the sale and the important role of craft in our current moment. Members are encouraged to prep for the online party and shopping by mixing up a fun drink and tuning into our curated playlist of Bay Area music.

• Carin Adams of Oakland Museum
• Nicole W. Kelly of Yolotli
• Gyöngy Laky, San Francisco artist and ACC Fellow
