The 22nd Annual Academy Art Museum Craft Show launches on October 11th with the theme of Celebrating the Makers. You can be part of our celebration of the fine artists and makers who have been selected to participate in the event.
Your help now supports the creativity and skill of the 70 artists and makers who bring their amazing work to Easton, Maryland from October 11 – 13. Your sponsorship ensures a successful Craft Show at the Museum, supports our talented exhibitors, and helps spread the word through our innovative social media campaigns which last year reached over 220,000 people.
The Academy Art Museum Craft Show provides a wonderful, first-person experience of some of the country’s leading craft artists for the 3,000 people who will attend. What you need to know is that your support also helps the Museum tell our story across many states, reaching people who have an interest in art museums and the extraordinary work we are doing here in Easton, MD.
And, if you live on the Eastern Shore, your support will help us share the wonderful opportunities with others living here who can participate in our rich programs and offerings all year long at the Academy Art Museum.
We hope you will find your own philanthropic level of support of the Craft Show. Just know that all of the sponsorship proceeds in support of the Craft Show make possible the year-round mission and service of the Museum. We believe in the established model that allows our makers in the Craft Show to retain their sales revenue. So, your support of the Craft Show not only helps craft artisans thrive, but also provides mission-critical support for the Museum in one of our largest fundraising events of the year.

The Craft Show needs as many sponsors as possible and to that end we have identified five levels of giving: Visionary Patron, Premium Patron, Patron, Preview Event Committee, and Supporter.
We know how much people enjoy coming for an early look at the Craft Show during our Preview Event on the evening BEFORE the Show opens—this year the Preview Event is at 5:30 PM on October 10th and starts in Easton’s Waterfowl Building across from the Museum.
We welcome your engagement in the Preview Event and guarantee you will enjoy the evening that launches a successful Craft Show!
And, if you have a greater interest in supporting the Craft Show by becoming a category-exclusive sponsor of our online auction, our Instagram site, our Maker Podcasts, or other special programs, we would welcome the opportunity to visit with you further.
