We will be sending Invitations to Exhibit and Show Contracts out for the 2026 show in early January with the Contract and a 25% deposit due March 1, 2026.

We have 45 years of experience running shows (see below) and we like to keep our shows fresh, so we are always looking for new exhibitors to share with our attendees. We select a variety of exhibitors from seasoned professionals to up-and-coming artists & craftsmen who design and handcraft furniture, accessories and fine art.  Each show includes approximately 100 artists, craftsmen & students who want to show & sell their work, take orders, talk about commissions to the public and trade, and make connections with the media, colleagues, collectors, museum buyers and more.

 

Our show is where CONNECTIONS are made!

“The Fine Furnishings Show is the centerpiece of my marketing plan. It is the only show I do. It has been a fantastic opportunity for me to build my brand amongst that elusive group of people who value handmade goods and appreciate everything that goes into the process of creating a piece of furniture. My best customers are ones I initially met through the show. I also really value the opportunity to network with fellow exhibitors who have so much talent and knowledge/experience they are happy to share.”          Jon Peirce, Industrious Revolution, North Smithfield, RI

Our ATTENDEES are couples making household buying decisions!

Our show is open to both the public and trade, household & business decision makers interested in discovering & purchasing, ordering and/or commissioning items for themselves, their clients and their homes. The majority of our attendees are public attendees.  Our exhibitors treat the shows as their annual "showroom" inviting past, current and prospective buyers to the show to  see their newest work, get feedback and discuss their needs for furniture, accessories and art for their home.

We make it EASY for our EXHIBITORS! We have 36 years of show management experience!

The Show is INVITATIONAL. This means once you apply and are accepted you do not need to apply again each year.  (Provided you maintain the same quality of work as when you were accepted.)
