Museum of Design Atlanta and American Craft Council Team Up Again for the Annual Preview Party and Benefit
|
Preview Party Always the Best Way to
See the Show and Experience First-Choice Shopping! 2/18/11 The 22nd annual American Craft Council Show heads
to Atlanta this spring with an exciting selection of
handmade creations from over 225 highly respected craft
artists. Held the night before the show officially opens to
the public, the Preview Party offers an exciting opportunity
to peruse the booths without the crowds, while enjoying live
entertainment, delicious cocktails, and tasty hors
d’oeuvres! Preview Party attendees get a sneak peek at the crafts
and a chance to mingle with the artists. Even better,
guests will have an exclusive chance to buy ahead of the
crowds before the show opens. Renewing the successful
partnership from last year, the 2011 Preview Party will
jointly benefit Museum of Design Atlanta (MODA) and the
American Craft Council (ACC), a national, nonprofit public
organization whose mission is to champion craft. In celebration of the 70th anniversary of its
American Craft magazine, the Council has invited cake
designers to create cakes and cupcakes inspired by ACC
artists’ select works of jewelry, pottery, glass, fiber art,
or multi-media masterpieces. These Craft-Inspired Cakes will
be on display at the Preview Party and throughout the
weekend at the craft show. The best way to see the cakes and
cupcakes, of course, is to visit the show during the Preview
Party on March 10. Join MODA and the American Craft Council for the American
Craft Council Show Preview Party. The evening will include
hors d’oeuvres and cocktails, the opportunity to meet the
225 American Craft Council participating artists, and best
of all – a chance to purchase their works ahead of the
crowd. Thursday, March 10, 2011 Tickets: $75 in advance, $85 at the door: includes a
ticket to return to the show on public days. Cobb Galleria Centre Dress: Dressy casual To purchase tickets, visit

Show will take place at the Cobb Galleria Centre from March
11 to 13, 2011. The show will feature more than 225 of the
nation’s most respected craft artists, who will exhibit and
sell their latest high-quality, one-of-a-kind handmade
jewelry, furniture, clothing, home decor and more. At the
southeast’s largest craft show, artists are selected through
a rigorous jury process to ensure the admission of
museum-quality work. Works presented at the American Craft
Council Show in Atlanta begin at $25 and go into the
thousands. BENEFICIARIES Moving to its new location in Midtown Atlanta in March,
