The 75th annual fall edition of the Craft Fair of the Southern Highlands will take place October 13 through 16 at Harrah\u2019s Cherokee Center-Asheville. The fair is open from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. on Thursday, Friday and Saturday, and from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Sunday. Admissions is $10 and children under 12 years old attend for free.<\/p>\n

Ray Jones has been a member of the Guild for 21 years and will be displaying and selling his signature wooden boxes at this year\u2019s fair. \u201cOur fair is one of the longest running ones in the country,\u201d says Jones, who is also a member of the Guild\u2019s Board of Trustees. \u201cIt has become a fixture in the Asheville area. Many artists live in the region and the arts sector is a significant part of the local economy. We are also a great draw for tourism, which is a major driving factor in the local economy. The Fair is a great opportunity for locals and visitors alike to interact directly with the people who make the objects that they are drawn to.\u201d<\/p>\n

Wood artist Andy Costine says the Guild\u2019s mission differentiates this fair from other shows and fairs across the country. \u201cThe fair helps keep alive traditional and contemporary craft,\u201d he says. \u201cThis is different from the other juried art shows I do across the country that have very little focus on traditional crafts.\u201d<\/p>\n

Harrah\u2019s Cherokee Center-Asheville is located at 87 Haywood Street, Asheville. For more information, visit CraftGuild.org\/craftfair<\/a> or call 828.298.7928.<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
