New ACRE™ Orlando Wholesale Show Announced. Wholesalecrafts.com™ has announced a new wholesale art/craft show to be launched in Orlando, Florida next January. The American Craft Retailers Expo™ (ACRE™) show in Orlando, will take place January 22 – 24, 2011 at the Orange County Convention Center.
Cooperatively co-located with the Orlando Gift Show including Orlando Cash & Carry Show, ACRE Orlando will feature nearly 600 juried wholesale artists among seven distinct juried showcases. A 10x10 booth will cost $1,495 and an attendance of 4,000-5,000 is expected.
ACRE Orlando, like it’s sister show ACRE Las Vegas, will offer an all-inclusive booth package for American and Canadian wholesale artists to display their products, and provide an affordable venue for new artists to make their wholesale debut through its Emerging Artist program. In turn, retailers will find new, creative, and never-before-seen product lines.
The Craft Retailers’ Association for Tomorrow (C.R.A.F.T.) remains partnered with ACRE™ to offer onsite educational opportunities for retailers during the show.
