Calico Arts and Crafts Spring Show

  • Share:
Name: Calico Arts and Crafts Spring Show
Date: March 21, 2015 - March 22, 2015
Event Description:

The Calico Arts and Crafts Show is a one-stop shopping extravaganza for Southwest Georgia and the surrounding area. From ornamental iron home and garden décor, to painted glass and antiques, to whimsical painted children’s furniture and accessories…it’s all together in one location. Approximately 200 vendors featuring fine arts, handmade crafts and hand decorated items exhibit their lovingly made items so you’ll feel really good supporting the local economy while acquiring unique gifts for your friends and family. In addition to the arts and crafts, Calico offers a wide selection of mouth-watering food and refreshments as well as clogging performances. The show has become an established, highly anticipated event held each March and November. The Calico Shows are held at Spence Field in Moultrie, Georgia, just 4 miles Southeast of Highway 319 on Highway 133. Free parking and easy access make it easy to start having fun immediately.

The exceptional quality of the arts and crafts is ensured through a jury process which receives approximately 500 applications from not only local craftsman, but creative artisans from across the country. The shows are advertised by television, radio, flyers, newspapers, magazines, and the internet. It is an excellent chance for you, the vendor, to sell your goods to a wide cross section of the Southeast. Don’t miss the opportunity to be part of the excitement, profit and fun!

We look forward to seeing you soon!
