The Craft Fair of the Southern Highlands is coming to the Asheville Civic Center July 21-24, 2011.
The Southern Highland Crafts Guild describes the event on their website:
For four days each July and October, the Civic Center in Asheville, NC comes alive with fine traditional and contemporary crafts. Over 200 craftspeople fill the two levels of the center selling their works of clay, fiber, glass, leather, metal, mixed media, natural materials, paper, wood and jewelry. Join us in 2011: July 21-24 and October 20-23.
What’s especially exciting about this event is that it will only feature the works of artists who are accepted into the Southern Highlands Craft Guild (setting a high bar), and who live in the Appalachian Mountains region.
I am planning to make a day trip out to Asheville to attend. Have you attended this bi-annual craft fair in years past? Did you purchase anything there or discover any artists’ works that you loved?
