We all expect to enjoy the shopping when a show boasts a great list of dealers. What the shoppers don’t often get to enjoy, though, is a wide range of other shopping opportunities, like those available at the annual Guild Show being held this coming August 6 and 7 at the Glenpointe Marriott in Teaneck, New Jersey.

At the GuildShow, not only is there an excellent list of dealers expected but, also in the salesroom, the Gallery of the Guild will be representing a further 10-20 Artisan and Fellow member craftspeople. Outside the salesroom, there will be silent auctions running during show hours Saturday and Sunday, and at the close of the show on Saturday, the Guild’s Annual Live Auction will take place and will feature many special and one-of-a-kind pieces from IGMA Artisan and Fellow members past and present.

While prices can occasionally fly in the live auction, bargains abound in the silent auctions. You will often find the perfect component for the room box you are currently working on, or inspiration for the next!

The Guild always welcomes donations from its members and other supporters. It is only through generous donations that the Guild continues to be able to fund the many educational programs and other benefits it offers to its members and the miniature loving general public. Visit the Guild website for more information on the show and all of the exciting events taking place there.
