From Judy Kahle, Commercial Exhibits Manager
With the Columbus convention coming up in November, most of us are studying the schedule to determine how to make good use of the time. One event you need to pencil in somewhere is a trip to visit the Commercial Exhibitors. These businesses have been making plans to return to Ohio with new products and new ideas for using familiar materials.

Many of the displays are presented by companies we deal with as we order our general supplies. Binney and Smith, Blick Art Materials, Nasco Arts and Crafts, Prism, Sanford, Triarco Arts and Crafts and United Art and Education have all reserved two or more booths in order to provide large displays or demonstration areas. They will be joined by Curry’s Artist’s Supplies, Handy Art, Lakeshore Learning Materials, Sax Arts and Crafts and Utrecht Art Supplies.

Other suppliers include ColArt America’s, Chroma Inc., and the Scratch Art Company. Those in need of brushes can stop by Royal and Longnickel’s booth or Scharf Brushes. Paper suppliers include Riverside Paper and Pacon Corporation and Delphi returns with those glass related supplies.

Once again we are fortunate to have many clay and glaze companies join us. Amaco/Brent, Campbell Clay, Columbus Clay Co., Duncan Enterprises, Laguna Clay Co., Mayco, Ohio Ceramic Supply, Rovin Ceramics and Spectrum Glazes have all reserved space at our convention.

Looking for a way to raise money for your program? Stop in at Art to Remember, 4everart, Original Works or Square 1 Art to see a variety of possibilities.

Armstrong Tool and Supply Company is looking forward to joining us along with Museum Apparel and a newcomer to the convention, Rosemary Remembrances II. Also be sure to visit the representatives from the Art Academy of Cincinnati and the Savannah College of Art and Design.

It’s always good to be able to view books and we are lucky to have Crizmac Art and Cultural Education Materials, Crystal Productions, Davis Publications, Glencoe McGraw-Hill and SRA McGraw-Hill.

There is still time to reserve space so this list will continue to grow. The Commercial Exhibitors are important supporters of our convention and would love to have everyone stop by to see them. Please let them know how much we appreciate their presence at our convention!
