The Philadelphia Alternative Craft Show is a biannual event held on the 10th floor of the Hilton Garden Inn, located across from the Convention Center in the heart of downtown Philadelphia.  Founded in 2000 by Margaret Thurman of Echo of the Dreamer, the show has continued to grow and garner more attention each year.
 
The next show, Winter 2009, will take place from February 13th thru 15th.  It coincides with other craft shows in the area, offering wholesale buyers a registration fee free show as well as an opportunity to see a fresh, new group of artists.
 
The show features the designs of skilled artisans, who display their work in our intimate, warm, and friendly environment.  The selection of crafts includes jewelry, glasswork, sculpture, candles, pottery, and fabric arts.
