Ten artists from six craft media and seven states make up the 2026 spring cohort.<\/p>\n<p>Selected artists receive a discounted booth fee for exhibiting at the Craft Fair of the Southern Highlands, marketing support through the Guild\u2019s channels and professional development programming through a new partnership with Mountain BizWorks\u2019 Craft Your Commerce initiative\u2014covering pricing, web presence, grant writing and exhibition photography.<\/p>\n<p>Like Guild membership, EAP artists are chosen through a competitive jury process, conducted this year by Daniel Garver, ceramicist and former Penland School of Craft resident artist, and Guild members Emelie Weber Wade and Erica Stankwytch Bailey.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_93136\" style=\"width: 410px\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-93136\" class=\"wp-image-93136\" src=\"https:\/\/thelaurelofasheville.com\/updatestage\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/SHCG-Emerging-Artists-Christa_Schoenbrodt_portfolio_1-christa-schoenbrodt-copy-2.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"400\" height=\"533\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-93136\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Hazel Eden, model. Christa Schoenbrodt, artist<\/p><\/div>\n<p>\u201cThe Emerging Artist Program offers substantial resources and structure that can help build a strong foundation, not only within the Guild but for a sustainable career in craft more broadly,\u201d says Weber Wade. \u201cIt offers a point of entry for artists who are still developing their practice or professional footing, but who show strong potential. The EAP allows artists to access resources and community while refining their work and business practice, rather than requiring them to meet the full expectations of Guild membership.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The jurors reviewed applications independently before coming together to discuss their choices, and each brought a different perspective to the process. Garver was an intentional selection, as an established craft artist that is not a Guild member. \u201cThrough the years of working in craft at a variety of craft schools and residences I was able to provide a different lens to the jurying process that is adjacent but relevant to the SHCG,\u201d Garver says. \u201cThe jurying process cannot be as simple as evaluating the strength of work, images and writing, but rather all the more amorphous details such as intent, potential and DEI to compose a solid cohort that will learn together and support one another through the program.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Kevin Duckett of Sandy Mush is a leatherworker who was chosen for the spring cohort. \u201cWhile I feel confident in my artistic skill set, I know that marketing and promotion is a piece of the business side where I need assistance,\u201d he says. \u201cSince my ultimate goal is Guild membership, there is no better place to learn art as a business than from this group of skilled artisans and makers.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Anna Rose Garrett, a printmaking and paper artist from Andrews, sees her participation in the EAP as a stepping stone for her artistic growth. \u201cI often feel that my creative practice and my business practice are at odds with one another,\u201d she says. \u201cI hope that through my involvement with the EAP these two aspects of my work can more seamlessly coexist and foster one another. I hope to achieve a greater level of confidence as I engage with the wider circle of artists in the WNC region.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Other members of the spring EAP cohort include Toryn Davis Black, Amy Burka, Bailey Fritz, Samuel Harley, Emiko Kuhs, Ethan McKellar, Christa Schoenbrodt and Jasmine Steinacker. These artists will exhibit at the Craft Fair of the Southern Highlands, July 16\u201319 at Harrah\u2019s Cherokee Center in downtown Asheville.<\/p>\n<p><em>Learn more at <a
