Call For Applications for Fine Furnishings Shows
Producers of the Fine Furnishings Shows in Providence, Rhode Island and Milwaukee, Wisconsin are accepting applications from artisans interested in being invited to exhibit. Each Fine Furnishings Show presents a marketplace for handcrafted furniture, decorative accessories and original art. The First Annual Fine Furnishings Milwaukee Show takes place September 23 & 24, 2006 at the Midwest Airline Center. The Eleventh Annual Fine Furnishings Providence Show is slated for October 27 - 29, 2006 at the Rhode Island Convention Center.
Both fine furnishings shows provide a venue for artisans to meet with designers, decorators, members of the home decor media, collectors, and the general public to make direct sales, initiate commissions, and generate publicity about their work. Many dedicated exhibitors have developed long-term relationships with clients they originally met at fine furnishings. The shows are open to artists and designers residing and working in North America who are the principal behind the design and craftsmanship of the work. All work must be originally designed, handcrafted and appropriate for home decor.
Both fine furnishings shows are officially endorsed by The Furniture Society, a tax-exempt, nonprofit organization founded in 1996 to support the creation of fine studio furniture that is produced in a small shop environment, rather than a large factory. President Miguel Gomez-Ibanez recently stated, "Fine Furnishings Providence has become one of the best venues in New England for studio furniture makers, and a great opportunity for members of The Furniture Society. I am excited about the prospect of extending your reach to the Midwest with a show in Milwaukee, and will recommend it to our membership without reservation."
The Fine Furnishings Shows are owned and produced by KL Communications, Inc., of Newport, Rhode Island, which has over 20 years experience producing consumer and trade shows. Karla Little, President of KL Communications, conceived and launched the Providence show in 1996.
