Eli Posted November 8, 2010 Report Share Posted November 8, 2010 Hello, I'm making the rounds on the forums spreading the news of this show. Tom MacDonald (furniture maker, host of Rough Cut, man about town) has a large space at the 2011 New England Home Show and he’s opened it up to any and all furniture makers. We’re calling it the WoodExpo and it’s an opportunity for makers to reconnect with buyers. Woodworking is often seen as impractical or esoteric and this is a chance to let the public know what exactly we do and the value of our craft. Aspiring or established furniture makers will benefit from the over 30,000 visitors the Home Show receives each year. These people are all shopping for their homes and serve as an ideal match for custom designers and makers. In addition, the show attracts a number of designers and decorators looking for a unique item to add to their arsenal. There is NO FEE to enter a piece into the show. Entrants are welcome to both the OPEN and SEED categories. The show is February 24-27, 2011 at the Seaport World Trade Center in Boston, MA. Details and entry forms are available through the website at: www.woodexpo.us . Feel free to contact us with any questions. Hopefully, we'll be able to feature some great work by some little known makers. We want everyone to have a chance, so spread the word.

RenaissanceWW Posted November 10, 2010 Report Share Posted November 10, 2010 Thanks Eli, this is a fantastic opportunity for anyone looking to get their stuff in the public eye. Of course it does mean that you will need to get up to Boston to participate, but I cannot think of a time when you could exhibit in a show without an entrance fee. Great opportunity!
