SOFA CHICAGO — Strong International Exhibitor Roster

“SOFA CHICAGO has always been proud to connect artists, dealers, curators and collectors regionally, nationally and internationally, forming communities and networks that have grown over 20 years,” said Fair Director Donna Davies. “I am thrilled to say that in 2013, SOFA CHICAGO has one of the strongest representations of international galleries, which is evidence of SOFA CHICAGO’s importance as an international art and design fair.”

The world’s foremost art fair devoted to Sculpture Objects Functional Art + Design, marks its 20th annual presentation with an increase in international exhibitors, highlighting an eclectic array of art from around the globe. 70 international galleries from 11 countries will bring design, glass, ceramics, jewelry, wood, fiber, and metal. Many of the international artists represented will accompany the galleries to Navy’s Festival Hall, November 1–3. Overall, more than 800 artists, including artists from the U.S. and abroad will participate in the three-day event that kicks off with the Opening Night Preview on Thursday, October 31 from 5 to 9 p.m.

Here is a preview of Scotland’s craft makers that will be seen at SOFA CHICAGO 2013.

The Craft Scotland 2013 showcase at SOFA Chicago includes work by sixteen celebrated and talented craft makers from Scotland.

Our collection gives audiences in Chicago the opportunity to see and buy some of the finest examples of ceramics, glass, furniture, metal, fibre, silver and jewellery being produced in Scotland today.
