About BMAC - Buyers Market of American Crafts
The Buyers Market is the largest wholesale trade show where retailers place orders directly with artists who produce luxury goods for home and fashion.The event is unique among gift tradeshows, as all works on display are exclusively designed and studio made by artists in the United States and Canada – no imports or mass-manufactured products allowed.
On display are gold, silver and gemstone jewelry; art for homes and commercial spaces; ceramics and dinnerware; handcrafted handbags, scarves and fashion accessories; sculpture; clocks; tableware; blown glass vases and designer lighting; contemporary art giftware – functional and decorative; and eco-art products made from recycled or sustainable materials.
