Highlands NC Annual Village Square Art and Craft Show a Summer Season Favorite

August 29 - 30, 2015  Village Square Art and Craft Show   Sponsored by the Macon County Art Association always offers many works of art from which to choose. You will find jewelry, pottery, weaving, metalwork, woodwork and other high quality crafts for the home and garden. 

More than seventy local and regional art vendors participate. The show is held in downtown Highlands NC at Kelsey-Hutchinson Park and neighboring Village Square, a block from Main Street.

This is the 10th year, and the shows continue to attract new artisans as well as many loyal shoppers. One show favorite is artist Amy Wald, who fashions large, artistic picture frames out of branches and slabs of wood that surround wildlife paintings and are perfect for a mountain cabin.

You will find beautiful turned wood pieces by Highlands' own Donald Krebs as well as John Benton and Brian Sykes. Skip Staab makes pottery, including facejugs, and twig furniture. Lee Byers of Highlands creates beautiful jewelry out of leather and pearls. Mike Murphy and Judy Buuci make decorative clay Ikebana vases.

Food and drinks are available at Fresser’s Courtyard Cafe in the Village Square.  There will be live music from 11 AM  to 3 PM both days. Kelsey-Hutchinson Park facilities include public restrooms, a new large stage, landscaping, an interactive water feature, lighting and new benches and picnic tables

Show hours are Saturday and Sunday 10 AM. to 5 PM., and admission is FREE. Children and dogs are welcome.
