The Buyers Market of American Craft (BMAC), held twice a year at the Pennsylvania Convention Center in downtown Philadelphia, offers the world's largest venue for artists to meet qualified buyers. This show provides a professional setting for the development of wholesale contacts and generates new business for both buyers and sellers of American craft art. The BMAC is produced by The Rosen Group.
