Exhibition Coordinator/Manager Position 2023 Annual Craftsmen’s Fair

The League of NH Craftsmen is seeking a creative and organized individual to facilitate the design and installation of the 2023 Art, Craft & Design Exhibition and Fair Sculpture Garden, and to manage these exhibition areas for the duration of the Fair.

Art, Craft & Design is a showcase of high-caliber craftsman pieces, displayed in a gallery setting within a large tent prominently located on the Fairgrounds, and will be a highlight of the League’s 90th Annual Craftsmen’s Fair. The Sculpture Garden features fine craft in a beautifully landscaped setting on a hillside within the Fairgrounds.

The Exhibition Coordinator will be responsible for designing the Exhibition and Sculpture Garden layouts, and will also manage administrative oversight of the craftsmen submissions as well as sales and inventory in the exhibition spaces during the event.

This is a great opportunity for those with high-end retail and/or gallery curation experience to gain exposure in front of a discerning crowd, and work with a dedicated and knowledgeable team. Strong interpersonal skills and administrative skills are required.

Interested parties should contact League Executive Director Miriam Carter directly at 603-224-3375 x 1 or email mcarter@nhcrafts.org and include a current resume. All eligible candidates will be interviewed by League staff.

This is an immediate opening, to begin preparations for the 2023 Fair.


Please email nhleague@nhcrafts.org or call (603) 224-3375 for more information regarding other potential opportunities.
