Join us on the first two Saturdays of December for our annual Artist Holiday Markets!
December 5 and December 12 in the Folk Art Center's Auditorium
Kick off the holiday season at the Folk Art Center's annual Holiday Market. Shop from artists' booths of fine craft featuring their studio seconds at discounted prices for their end-of-year sale event.
Participating Saturday, December 5th
Participating Saturday, December 12th
Unlike the Folk Art Center’s year-round shop, this event is run directly by the artists, who set up booths in the Auditorium to personally sell their work.
The Folk Art Center, headquarters of the Southern Highland Craft Guild, is located at Milepost 382 on the Blue Ridge Parkway in east Asheville. In addition to hosting these special events, the Center houses three galleries, a library, a craft shop, and a Blue Ridge Parkway information desk and bookstore.
Admission is free to both the Holiday Sale Markets and the Folk Art Center. For details, including a list of participating makers, call 828-298-7928 or visit www.craftguild.org.
