detroit urban craft fair

We met the lovely ladies of Handmade Detroit ("a loose collective for people who like to make stuff", producers of the Detroit Urban Craft Fair, Sunday Crafternoon, and the Handmade Detroit Holiday Market) at Craft Congress 2007. Lish & Steph seem to have endless energy and enthusiasm for nurturing and promoting the local craft scene, as well as putting on events well worth the trip over the border (fyi Detroit is but a 4 hr drive from Toronto). The deadline for participation in the Detroit Urban Craft Fair is coming up shortly and I would encourage people to apply - from all accounts it's a great show & fun time! If you make it in, let me know because I'll be there myself.

Applications now online for 2007 Detroit Urban Craft Fair

The Detroit Urban Craft Fair will return to the Majestic Theater Complex in Detroit on August 4, 2007. Hosted by Handmade Detroit, applications for the juried show are now available on the DUCF web site (www.detroiturbancraftfair.com). The deadline to apply is May 25, 2007.

The fair, which features over 50 Michigan and national DIY crafters, is entering its second year with the same commitment to DIY community that made it a must-attend event in 2006. For 2007, the fair has added DJs, a keepsake program guide and a benefit raffle. This year’s show will also tie into a Handmade Detroit art exhibit at the Majestic Cafe for the months of July and August.

When: Saturday, August 4, 2007, 10 a.m. to 8 p.m.
Where: Majestic Theater, 4120 Woodward Ave. Detroit
Admission: Free, all ages
