American Craft Week opens voting for top 10 favorite craft towns

FROM THE AMERICAN CRAFT WEEK WEBSITE:

It’s time to vote!
We are on the search for the nation’s top craft towns and you can help.

You can vote once each day and write-ins are welcomed! Encourage your friends, family and fellow craft lovers to vote, too. The poll stays open through Sunday, July 12, and we will announce the winners a few days later. Last year voting was fast and furious, so get organized and put your town on America’s creative map!

Go here to vote.

Now in its seventh year, ACW is the nation’s largest celebration of handmade American craft. We began with a simple idea: what if EVERYBODY who makes, sells, exhibits, teaches or celebrates American craft – what if we ALL did something at the same time to spotlight an aspect of amazing American craft?

What if we ALL tell the world what craft creates for America: jobs, vibrant communities, economic growth, and an exceptional national heritage and a beautiful aesthetic for our homes and public places.

We invite you to join us! Just click “Become a participant” in the menu above, it’s easy and very inexpensive for everyone to add their voice and activity to the nation’s largest craft celebration. If you have questions, click on the “contact” button and we will be happy to provide answers and information.

Right now, our site is “wiped clean” and ready to accept all our 2016 sponsors, participants and events.

Come back often and watch how it blossoms with activity! We also invite you to like our Facebook page), so you get the latest ACW news as it happens.

Let’s make the 2016 ACW the largest and most vibrant yet!
