JURY DETAILS Event Summary Crafts at the Cathedral, a juried fine crafts show that benefits the work of the Cathedral Church of St. John the Divine and its congregation takes place in the center of the nave and most of the crossing of the world’s largest gothic cathedral. Now in its 23rd year, the show moved into the Cathedral in 2017 and was greatly expanded. Exhibitors and craft show enthusiasts were charmed by the new location. The Cathedral is of enormous scale and beauty. The floors in the nave are of green Vermont slate, the soaring columns, the gothic arches, spectacular stained glass windows--St John the Divine is overwhelming in its beauty. What better location to show off your work? The Cathedral is a prime tourist destination. Situated on the bustling Upper West Side just south of Columbia University, Teacher’s College, Jewish and Union Theological Seminaries and the Manhattan School of Music, visits are highest during the holiday season. Crafts at the Cathedral is now a Cathedral Signature Event. General Information 23rd Annual Crafts at the Cathedral Cathedral Church of St. John the Divine, New York City Friday, December 6 through Sunday, December 8 PROSPECTUS In medieval Europe, the Cathedral served as the center of not just religious life in a town, but often the civic and commercial life, too. Guilds met, degrees were bestowed, craftsmen sought employment, and commerce was conducted in the naves of many great Cathedrals. Wine merchants in 12th century Chartres and numerous other cities cleverly escaped local taxes by selling their wares from within the walls of the city's Cathedral. Some Cathedrals even had different sections of their naves set aside for different types of merchants — textiles in one corner, food in another, etc. The Cathedral Church at St. John the Divine is honoring that tradition!
