Artist Area

The entry deadline for the 2008 Direcotry of Traditional American Crafts has now passed, and entries postmarked after January 15, 2008 will no be accepted. After the entries are examined and sorted, they will be sent out for judging by our panel of jurors selected from museum curators, collectors, authors, and other respective authorities with expertise in each category.

During the selection process we ask that entrants do not contact us by phone, email, or paper mail regarding your entry or its judging (unless we contact you first). We will contact each entrant individually when the judges have made their selections, and we will make this notification before the public announcement of results in the August 2008 issue of Early American Life magazine so you can be ready!

We are in the stages of planning for our 2008 Holiday Directory, and we will post further information as it becomes available.
