The Artists
When selected by an esteemed panel of jurors, the 2022 Craft Show will feature 195 of the finest craft artists in the United States in person at the Pennsylvania Convention Center. 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.
The 2021 Artists will remain on this site until May 2022 once the jury selection for the 2022 Show takes place. Browse the artists’ online shops to explore their work, learn about their techniques, and discover the inspiration behind their art.
Note that all transactions, communications, and shipping arrangements are made directly with the artists and are not the responsibility of the Philadelphia Museum of Art Craft Show or The Women’s Committee of the Philadelphia Museum of Art.
