One of the country’s premier fine craft shows, the American
Craft Exposition, presented by The Auxiliary of NorthShore University
HealthSystem at Evanston and Glenbrook Hospitals, brings together 164
superior artisans exhibiting one-of-a-kind, museum quality work.
This important art event is also a major fundraiser supporting critical breast and ovarian cancer research and care
at NorthShore University HealthSystem. Artists support ACE’s funding
goal by participating in the voluntary Craft for a Cure program and
donating a percentage of a designated sale.
A highly competitive juried show, ACE features hand-crafted work in
12 media—baskets, ceramics, fiber decorative, fiber wearable, furniture,
glass, jewelry, leather, metal, mixed media, paper and wood.

Emerging Artists
To encourage the participation of craftsmen who are beginning their
careers, an Emerging Artist category is available. This option is open
only to those who have been practicing
their craft for less than six years and who have never exhibited at
ACE. If you choose to apply as an emerging artist, you must do so
exclusively. The application procedure and fees are the same as for
other applicants. However, those who check the emerging artist category
will be juried separately from the other applicants. Those who are
accepted will share a large booth space with other emerging artists, thereby reducing their booth expenses.
