The Southern Highland Craft Guild, founded in 1930, supports over 800 juried artisans from nine states by providing resources, education, and opportunities to grow their businesses. We promote high-quality craftsmanship, from traditional to modern pieces, and champion the value of handmade goods through craft fairs, retail spaces, live demonstrations, and educational events. Our mission is to strengthen the region's creative economy while preserving and showcasing the talent of the Southern Highlands.

Join us in downtown Asheville for the Craft Fair of the Southern Highlands or at our Pop-up mini Craft Fairs at the Folk Art Center this year. As we rebuild from the impact of Hurricane Helene, your support helps our artisans recover, restore, and rise stronger than ever. Together, we craft resilience!
