54th Annual Craft + Design Show, Presented by Altria Group

Richmond’s Craft + Design Show has been wooing Washingtonians for 54 years. Take an Amtrak to Richmond, Virginia’s historic Main Street Station, where you’ll step off the train and directly into one of the nation’s most beautiful contemporary craft shows. This year’s show takes place November 16-18 and features the work of over 150 museum-quality craft artists from across the country. All proceeds from Craft + Design benefit the Visual Arts Center of Richmond. A weekend pass gets you into Friday night’s Patrons’ Preview Party, which runs from 6-9 p.m. Enjoy drinks and hors d’oeuvres, music by Kendall Street Company and the chance to shop ahead of the crowds. If you’re a night owl, plan on heading to the afterparty at Shockoe Atelier. On Saturday, set your alarm for Rise + Shine, which runs from 9:30 to 11 a.m. and features mimosas and bloody marys, a light breakfast and a panel of interior designers who will talk about how to incorporate craft into the home. General admission shopping hours are from 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. on both Saturday and Sunday.
