History of RRCS:
The Rock N Roll Craft Show was started in 2005 by a group of crafty friends who simply wanted
to provide a venue for themselves and others to display their original work. Rather than compete
with the quilt-filled craft shows of our grandparents’ generation, the organizers of the Rock N Roll
Craft Show aim to capture the energy of this generation’s DIY-ers.
Since our humble beginning when the first RRCS featured a mere 50 vendors and only 500
attendees, we have now grown by leaps and bounds to more than120 artists and 4000 attendees,
have been featured by local and national press, and have been repeatedly recognized as St. Louis’s
best alternative craft event!
RRCS is organized and run by five native St. Louis women - Jessi Cerutti, Sharlene Kindt, Meghan
McGlynn, Michelle Stokes, and Nora Vandivort. When they’re not crafting or organizing crafters,
you will find them teaching, bookkeeping, lawyering, designing, and more! To read more about
