The 18th annual Art in Autumn<\/em> will take place on Main Street in downtown Weaverville on Saturday, September 20, from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. Presented by the Weaverville Business Association, the juried event will feature 114 artists from across the Southeast, with booths showcasing a variety of media. Visitors can enjoy local restaurants and shops, live music beginning at 10:30 a.m. and free parking at designated lots. Awards will be given for Best in Show, Second Place, Third Place and Honorable Mentions, with Rebecca Lynch, development and grants director for ArtsAVL, serving as judge.<\/p>\n

For some artists, this year\u2019s show is more than an opportunity to sell work\u2014it\u2019s a reunion with the community. \u201cLast year, Art in Autumn<\/em> was the last bit of normalcy before Helene hit and changed our home and mentality forever,\u201d says Megan Hartman. \u201cI met so many amazing people and was able to connect with them as they enjoyed my artwork. I often think of many of the faces and how they were affected by the storm. This was such a relaxed and happy event, filled with talent and smiling, kind, visitors and vendors.\u201d Hartman\u2019s work in alcohol ink embraces unpredictability, and she will be selling original pieces, prints and greeting cards at this year\u2019s show.<\/p>\n

Sarah Faulkner will be showing custom framed original acrylic and oil pastel paintings, including new abstracted works that represent light and love. \u201cThe organizers of Art in Autumn are working artists and create a welcoming and caring environment for the participants,\u201d Faulkner says. \u201cIt is the best outdoor festival I\u2019ve ever been a part of.\u201d<\/p>\n
