"Bringing the artist community together to foster goodwill and great ideas among everyone involved in professional arts and crafts in the Rochester, NY and surrounding area."

We are a group of art business owners who want to share common experiences, offer encouragement and bounce ideas off each other. We are generally 1-person operations and lots of us have "day jobs" too.

We are located near Rochester, NY. We communicate via email since we are all busy running our businesses. But lots of us have met in person at shows & events!

Members have access to a Shows Sheet - listing lots of area craft shows and art festivals, complete with contact information, fees, etc. We have a file full of show applications, links to credit card processors, tools for running a business. All free.

Our group consists of artists from emerging artists to seasoned veterans, all of whom love to learn and help others and "pay forward" their experiences. Just ask a question, someone is sure to know the answer!

Our membership also includes store owners and show organizers. Everyone is welcome!
