The 49th Annual Village Art & Craft Fair in Historic Biltmore Village takes place on Saturday, September 11, 10 a.m. to 7 p.m. and on Sunday, September 12, 12\u20135 p.m. Featuring high-quality artwork and crafts from 80 exhibitors in a wide range of mediums, the event is sponsored by New Morning Gallery and Bellagio Art to Wear, both located in Biltmore Village. There is no admission fee and the fair will be held rain or shine on the grounds of The Cathedral of All Souls. Homemade refreshments will be available at church-sponsored concession stands, with proceeds benefiting the Cathedral\u2019s outreach program.<\/p>\n

Connie Bostic, artist<\/p><\/div>\n

\u201cWe are excited to be hosting the 49th Village Art & Craft Fair, especially after having to cancel last year\u2019s event,\u201d says Leah Chang, office manager at New Morning Gallery. \u201cWe moved the date back this year to allow for extra planning time and, hopefully, cooler weather.\u201d<\/p>\n

Artist Marcus Thomas, who paints with a brush held in his mouth after a skiing accident left him paralyzed, has participated in the annual fair for 25 years. \u201cThe first time we went to do the show we could not find a place to set up,\u201d says Marcus\u2019 wife, Anne Thomas. \u201cExhibitors were setting up in their tents so fast in between Marcus sitting in his chair that there wasn\u2019t any room for us to set up. It was a real eye opener. We almost left, but John Cram stepped in and found Marcus a spot that was accessible. If not for him coming to our rescue, we would never have done the show.\u201d<\/p>\n

Thomas will bring original oil paintings to the fair, as well as Limited Edition gicl\u00e9e prints, both framed and unframed, and a coffee table book, Flight of the Mind: A Painter\u2019s Journey Through Paralysis, that offers a 25-year retrospective of his life and work. \u201cHe always says that there is not enough time on this earth to do all that he wants to do,\u201d says Anne. \u201cOften asked what his favorite painting is, he replies, \u2018the one I haven\u2019t done yet.\u2019 He is truly a remarkable person. We tell customers just to stop by and say hello. They don\u2019t need to buy anything. Looking is free.\u201d<\/p>\n

Sculptor Benjamin Peterson repurposes found industrial metal objects and combines them with natural rocks to create minimalist works of art. \u201cI love how the natural rock looks with the rustic metal, and I enjoy laying out my vision and then welding it permanently,\u201d Peterson says. \u201cMany of my pieces are kinetic, so with natural breezes, it adds another element of nature.\u201d<\/p>\n

Artist Connie Bostic created artwork for this year\u2019s poster and t-shirt design for the long-running festival. Her painting for the fair is in honor of the late Cram, who, as an early Asheville entrepreneur, founded New Morning Gallery, Bellagio Art to Wear and Blue Spiral 1 and, in the meantime, created the Village Art & Craft Fair.<\/p>\n
