Craft Marketing Program
New Craftspeople Juried Into Kentucky Craft Marketing Program for 2005
The Kentucky Craft Marketing Program (KCMP) recently accepted 21 new participants at its annual jury session. An additional 13 participants are expected to be included, after successful completion of the Program's jury mentoring program. There were 3 existing members whose new products were accepted during the jury session making a total of 34 new juried participants in the Program.
The 2005 session was conducted by a panel of in-state and out-of-state craft professionals. Out-of-state jurors included: Janet McCall, executive director of the Society for Contemporary Crafts, Pittsburgh, PA; Gail Looper, gallery manager for the Appalachian Center for Craft, Smithville, TN; Lee Marshal, artist, Silver Ridge Pottery, Lebanon, TN.
In-state jurors included: Tim Glotzbach, founding director/dean, Kentucky School of Craft, Hindman; Victoria Faoro, executive director/buyer, Kentucky Artisans Center at Berea; and Josephine Richardson, retailer, Whitesburg, Kentucky.
Jurors scored entries by in three areas: design, technique, and originality or authenticity. An applicant whose score falls within a few points of the qualifying score is paired with a juried participant mentor who will assist the applicant in understanding how to bring his/her work to the standards required by the CMP. After successfully completing the mentoring program, these applicants will be accepted into the program and granted all the benefits of a CMP juried participant without having to wait an additional year to rejury.
New juried member, Henreitta Scott said, "We are fortunate to live in Kentucky and have the opportunity to be a part of this exciting program. To put it simply, we are pleased and honored and look forward to meeting other artists in this program.”
Juried members will have an opportunity to participate in wholesale and retail venues such as the New York International Gift Fair, Kentucky Crafted: The Market, the Governor’s Derby Day Celebration, The Kentucky Collection, and other statewide initiatives. Participants also may use the “Kentucky Crafted” trademark and receive technical assistance for their business and craft.
