The Show

The 2022 American Craft Exposition (ACE) will be held September 30-October 2, 2022 at the Chicago Botanic Garden.

Thank you for your support of virtual ACE 2021. We had wonderful engagement as folks browsed our artists’ websites, viewed their Face to Face with ACE Artists video interviews, and checked out their Craft for a Cause pieces and special offers.
