<div>In October 2026 from the 6th – 11th the Illinois Valley Leather Guild NFP (IVLG) will be hosting the International Federation of Leather Guilds (IFoLG) annual show in East Peoria, IL @ The Embassy Suites Hotel and Convention center.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Leathercraft is a timeless tradition that bridges the gap between historical utility and modern artistry. IVLG is preparing to host the upcoming IFoLG Show, we are reaching out to everyone who shares our passion for preserving this craft and fostering the next generation of makers. IVLG last hosted the IFoLG show in 1968, so this is a special honor for our guild to host the 2026 show!
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>This years IFoLG show will mark the 60th year of the show. IFoLG provides a place for crafters from across the country and around the world to gather, socialize, learn from each other through workshops and fellowship, acquire tools, materials, and other crafting supplies that they may otherwise not have access to throughout the year, and compete with their peers for recognition and advancement of their skills through the annual competition and receive valuable feedback from Master Leathersmiths to further hone and progress their skills.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>To keep this tradition thriving and as accessible and affordable to everyone, we are raising funds to support the core programs that make this show possible.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Your donation helps us provide the space, tools, and expertise needed to educate and inspire.
