Southern Highlands Craft Fair this Week in Asheville

July 19 - 22    65th Annual Craft Fair of the Southern Highlands   Over 200 exhibitors, craft demonstrations, and live regional music and entertainment bring Asheville's downtown Civic Center (US Cellular Center) alive with fine traditional and contemporary crafts. Both levels of the Center are filled with artisans exhibiting and selling works of clay, fiber, glass, leather, metal, mixed media, natural materials, paper, wood and jewelry. 

The Fair showcases the work of members of the Southern Highland Craft Guild with members living in the mountain counties of nine states from Maryland to Alabama. Having been accepted into the Guild through a rigorous jury process, these craftspeople are the best of the best in the Appalachian region. 

The Southern Highland Craft Guild is a non-profit, educational organization established in 1930 to bring together the crafts and craftspeople of the Southern Highlands for the benefit of shared resources, education, marketing and conservation. The Craft Fairs are one of the ways in which the Guild fulfills its mission.
