Step by Step Promotions
Festivals of Arts and Crafts
For the past 30+ years Step by Step has built a positive reputation. Kim Grau, the promoter and owner, holds a standard to maintain that reputation.
All shows live up to our policy promise of “hand-crafted only” products exhibited by some of the most talented crafters in the industry. Kim’s philosophy continues to be to not just sell booth space but to promote the shows by heavily advertising them. Kim strives for a well balanced show with quality, uniqueness and originality, bringing customers back year after year. The key contribution to the foundation of the successful shows are the quality of the crafters who participate in Step by Step’s shows and their many referrals to other quality artisans.
