2015 Bead&Button Show - ISGB Marketplace Sales Opportunity
  The NEW Bead&Button Show - ISGB Marketplace Sales Opportunity will be awarded for the first time in 2015. This exciting possibility gives artists the chance to sell on the Bead&Button Show floor for the first time, without the financial risk of paying for their own booth. The Marketplace is designed for those interested in buying artisan-crafted beads, jewelry, and more, and being a first time seller will be a terrific experience. The Bead&Button Show and ISGB are pleased to offer this opportunity to members in support of artistic excellence and to help further the education and experience needed to explore their passion for glass and more, while selling their work.  

The Bead&Button Show - ISGB Marketplace Sales Committee is chaired by Marlene Vail and Kendra Bruno and includes, Angie Ramey, Penny Dickinson, and Hannah Rosner. All decisions made by the Committee are considered final.
