The application is now live through August 5th for the November 30th, 2013 show. You can visit the website for further details.
It
is free to apply for Art vs. Craft. The on-line application period is
open from July 8- August 5th, 2013. All applications must be filled out
in entirety online to be considered, no exceptions. Due to the amount of
applicants each year AVC does not consider any late applications under
any circumstances. AVC is a juried show, but it’s not necessary to have
an established business or to even have selling experience to apply.
However, we are interested in professionalism and select vendors based
upon their uniqueness and quality of work reflected in their
application.
WHAT TYPE OF VENDORS ARE WE LOOKING FOR?
The
shoppers who come to our event seem to be interested in predominantly
purchaseing work between $15-$200. If this isn’t your retail price
range AVC may not be a good fit for you. We accept applications for
clothing, jewelry, ceramics, household items, toys, stationery, bath and
body, handbags, plush, paintings, prints, ornaments and the best kind
is things we don’t even know exist yet. If you are curious what type of
work has been at past AVC events there are a number of photos from past
events here.
EVENT DATE
November 30th, 2013 10am-6pm (the first Saturday after Thanksgiving)

Exhibition and Art Fair at Civic Center, San Francisco, California
Exhibition Dates: October 18-20 2013
Witness A Unique Experience: Ceramic Sculpture from Around the World
The Ceramics Annual of America (CAA) is an ambitious exhibition and art
fair spotlighting the quality and diversity of contemporary ceramics
from around the world including works from China, Korea, Mexico,
Australia and Italy. It is the only event of its kind in the United
States and the goal is to encourage the education and enrichment of the
public, cultivate a fertile art market, and foster dialog between
collectors and makers of ceramic sculpture.
Part of California’s continuing legacy of excellence and innovation in
ceramics, CAA is the largest exhibition and art fair that is entirely
focused on ceramic art in America and is modeled after the Ceramic
Biennials held in Europe, Korea, Japan and China. It provides a venue
for the top regional and international artists from working in the clay
medium to show their work to a broader audience of collectors.
CAA is organized by the California Ceramics Cooperative, a group of
invested regional ceramic artists, and will feature panel discussions,
lectures, tours as well as daily interactive art demonstrations all day
that will provide a greater understanding of the artistic process for
students and educators alike. Featured artist and instructor Kevin
Nierman, author of “The Kids ‘N’ Clay Ceramics Book,” will provide
“Artistic childcare” on Saturday and Sunday from 11-3.
This year, the city of San Francisco is partnering with CAA. The
exhibition will be held at the San Francisco Civic Center. CAA expects
high attendance with over 25,000 vistiors. This is an exciting time for
CAA, the Civic Center has not been used as an art venue since 1986.
From 1946 until the last years of the Arts Festivals in the mid-1980s,
the Arts Commission used budgeted monies from the City’s general fund to
purchase jury-selected work by contributing local artists. As a result,
the Civic Art Collection contains a number of early works by
influential artists, including Robert Arneson, Bruce Beasley and Viola
Frey. In 1978 an exhibit of Arts Festival acquisitions was held at the
Arts Commission’s gallery, followed in 1986 by a second showing in the
lobby of the TransAmerica Building, after which many of the objects were
incorporated into the Arts Commission’s interdepartmental loan program
for display in City offices. For many of the artworks included in The
Art of a City, this is the first time they have been publicly exhibited
in over twenty years.
Last years event was a huge success with over 10,000 people in
attendance. The museum quality exhibition included educational lectures
by curators such as Peter Selz and Phil Linhares and renowned artists
such as Jim Melchert. “The size and scale of such an exhibition and the
education opportunities, all under one roof, were extraordinary.”—Art
Historian, Peter Selz.
