ACRE Northeast

From ACRE Northeast Website:

********.*** is proud to announce its first annual American Craft Retailers Expo (ACRE) Northeast show, August 12 - 14, 2014 at the New Jersey Convention Center. Produced by ********.*** and benchmarked off the growing success of its shows in Las Vegas and Orlando, ACRE Northeast now brings a third show offering per year to the ********.*** roster of services. Founded and privately owned by Nancy Vince since 1998, ********.*** is the leading online service for retailers to source American and Canadian wholesale artists. Currently boasting 1,200 artists and 15,000 retailer members, ********.*** is the only successful online trade show of its kind.

ACRE Northeast is truly the latest revolution in wholesale shows for summer buying in this region. Just as artists and buyers have come to expect from ACRE Las Vegas in the West and ACRE Orlando in the East, ACRE Northeast will feature hundreds of juried wholesale artists among seven distinct juried showcases - Handmade Jewelry, Handmade Gifts & Accessories, The Gallery of Fine Crafts, High Design Jewelry, Handmade Wearable Art, and One-of-a-Kind, with Emerging Artists who are brand new to trade shows, sprinkled throughout. The Gallery of Fine Crafts and High Design Jewelry spotlight handmade items that mostly wholesale at price points of $100 and above for fine craft and $80 and above for jewelry. Within these two showcases retailers will find a broad spectrum of jewelry incorporating precious and semi-precious metals and gemstones, furniture, home decor, garden accessories, and more, with high levels of creative design. The One-of-a-Kind showcase is by invitation only and features products mostly in the $500 price point and above. Rounding out the show is the Retailer Resource area, which will offer a collection of services and products such as imprinted bags, lighted display stands, industry publications and organizations.
