The Wildwood Arts and Crafts Festival

American Craft Endeavors is returning to The Villages in 2026 with a new show at the Wildwood Community Center, just 1/4 mile from Brownwood. This prime location offers excellent visibility along busy County Road 44A, with easy access, plenty of parking, and a reputation as a popular site for well-attended community events. The show runs Saturday & Sunday 10am-5pm with free public admission and overnight security onsite. Booth spaces available in 10x10, 10x15 and 10x20 sizes with a booth fee of $425.00.

This competitive juried show accepts original, handcrafted work in various mediums including ceramics, fiber, glass, jewelry, metal art, paintings, photography, sculpture, wood, and more. Applications require 3 images of work, 1 image of 10x10 outdoor display with white canopy tent, and a $20 non-refundable jury fee. The jury meets weekly and applications are processed in order received, with 2-4 weeks processing time. Early application is recommended as categories may close when maximum allotment is reached.

Upon invitation, exhibitors must submit a deposit/booth fee immediately to secure their space. A $50 deposit may be made if the event is more than 30 days away, with the balance due no later than 30 days prior to the event. All booth fee payments are made directly to American Craft Endeavors. The artist whose work has been accepted must be present throughout the event, and displays must be professional with white tents only.
