The Smithsonian Craft Show is a juried exhibition and sale featuring the finest in contemporary craft and design, held annually in Washington DC. The theme for the 2027 show, Artful Design, highlights the many pathways of craft from functionality into artistry, creative technique and design.

The Smithsonian Craft Show is a fund-raising event for the Smithsonian Institution, produced by the Smithsonian Women's Committee. Proceeds from the show fund grants that benefit the Smithsonian's education, outreach, conservation, and research programs. Since its inception, SWC has awarded more than $15 million in grants to Smithsonian organizations throughout the world.
