    The Brookline Arts Center Seeks Artists for the 31st Annual Crafts
    Showcase 

    For 30 years, the Brookline Arts Center has hosted a holiday sale of
    fine crafts, gifts and art in December. The Crafts Showcase features
    approximately 100 artists from around the country, with an emphasis
    on New England craftspeople. This annual fundraiser serves to support
    both new, young craftspeople as well as traditional artisans, by
    bringing their work to a new audience during the important holiday
    gift-buying season. 

    The 31st annual Crafts Showcase is planned for December 1 to Dec.
    18, 2005. A jury of artists, curators and collectors will meet select
    artists in June, and new artists are being sought now by the
    Brookline Arts Center and the Crafts Showcase organizers. 

    "We have a very faithful audience that come to shop and buy at the
    Crafts Showcase every year. They know that we will bring them
    exciting new design by ultra-talented artists from around the
    country," says Gail Rice, the designer for Crafts Showcase since
    2002. "This spring we will be busy searching for the artisans that
    are the next big thing." 

    The Brookline Arts Center was founded 41 years ago, and offers
    affordable art classes for adults and children, along with gallery
    exhibitions of contemporary art, gallery talks, and special events
    with regional artists. In addition, the BAC provides free art classes
    and scholarships for low-income students. The Brookline Arts Center
    is housed in an historic Victorian firehouse that was transformed
    into studio classrooms in 1967, one of the first instances of reuse
    of a municipal building for the arts. The Crafts Showcase is the
    BAC=B9s most important annual fundraiser. 

    To receive an application to apply for the Crafts Showcase, artists
    should call the BAC at 617-566-5715 or email
    bac AT brooklineartscenter.com. For more information about the Crafts
    Showcase, visit http://www.brooklineartscenter.com. 

    The programs of the Brookline Arts Center are sponsored in part by
    the Massachusetts Cultural Council, the Brookline Commission for the
    Arts and the Brookline Community Fund.
