Knowing that the covid pandemic would prevent some Arts and Crafts collectors from attending the live 35^th National Arts and Crafts Conference and Shows at the historic 1913 Grove Park Inn, we simultaneously began making plans to make available video recordings of the six seminar presentations. We also are making available a walking tour of the Grove Park Inn and of Biltmore Industries. In addition, Virtual Conference Replay subscribers will be able to watch the first behind-the-scenes videos of the Contemporary Craftsfirms Show and the Antiques Show taken just minutes before the shows opened, and will receive a PDF and printed copy of the Conference Catalog.

Here, then, is a description of what you will see — and learn — at the Virtual Conference Replay:

Behind the Scenes Tours of the

National Arts and Crafts Conference Shows:

The 2022 Antiques Show and Contemporary Craftsfirms Show

Filmed by William Murphy.

Narrated by Bruce Johnson.

Minutes prior to the opening of the two shows, we recorded a stroll through the booths of the antiques dealers and the contemporary craftsfirms, even as they were putting the finishing touches on their booths. Conference director Bruce Johnson recorded the narrative over the video, giving you an even greater insight into all of the wonderful pieces which had been assembled for the show.

Registering for the Virtual Conference Replay Pass

The virtual pass is now available at a cost of $110 per household, payable via PayPal or a major credit card. The cost will include the shipping and postage of the 88-page conference catalog.

Subscribers will have until April 15th to view the video recordings. To register, please call the Arts and Crafts Conference office at (828) 628-1915 between the hours of 10:00am-5:00pm EASTERN Standard Time.

Optional Offer: If you prefer, you can order both your 2022 Virtual Conference Replay along with two conference posters by calling our office at (828) 628-1915.

If you’d just like the posters without the digital pass, for $20, you can receive a copy of both the 2022 and the 2023 Arts and Crafts Conference posters (11” X 17”). These are being sold only so long as supplies last and only via telephone (828) 628-1915 using a major credit card (M-F, 10-5, EST).
