The
American Crafts Festival at Lincoln Center is the most important
retail Craft Market in the New York metropolitan area. The annual
American Crafts Festivals at Lincoln Center traditionally host over
100,000 visitors each weekend and are consistently the best crafts
festivals in the New York City and tri-state metropolitan area. In
addition to robust sales, often-exceeding $10,000 per weekend per
artist, significant wholesale purchases have also been made at this
event. Record sales due to visitors from the have made this the event
of choice in the New York. New Yorkers, suburbanites, tourists and
theatergoers all contribute to these high sales. In addition, presents
for weddings, graduation and Father's Day are timely additions to
artists' sales.
In
addition to our own enormous mailing list of metropolitan area
qualified crafts customers, there are thousands of theatre goers that
afford expensive tickets, tourists from all over the world that, due to
the weak dollar, and Lincoln Center being a tourist must see
destination, buy an abundance of unique American crafts. All of this is
in a neighborhood where apartments cost millions of dollars
24-hour
security, discounted, convenient and secure parking garage, moderately
priced and comfortable accommodations have all been arranged. The
number of participants in each craft area will be carefully balanced so
as to afford all participants their fair share of this rich market.
This is an outdoor event, but booth displays may be left up overnight. One booth space will either be 10' long x 7' deep or 10' x 10'. (A 10' x 10'canopy will fit into a 10' x7' space).
