Buyers Market of American Craft (BMAC) is held twice a year at the Pennsylvania Convention Center in downtown Philadelphia. The winter show is in mid-February and the summer show is in early August. The work must all be designed and produced by the artist. Most of the work show here falls into the "contemporary" range of craft. This show does a good job of keeping out imports and buy/sell. The BMAC is produced by The Rosen Group, 3000 Chestnut Avenue, Suite 300, Baltimore, MD 21211, www.americancraft.com. Heritage Market of American Crafts is held twice a year (February and June) in Valley Forge. The work is mostly "traditional/folk art" and there is an attempt to keep out imports. B>Heritage Cash and Carry Wholesale Markets are held throughout the year at various locations in Pennsylvania, Massachusetts, Ohio, and Indiana. They are one-day shows and tend to be low-end, production traditional craft. They can be very lucrative if you have a low-price-point item that you can produce in large quantities.
