CALL FOR ENTRIES

Call for entries to the 15th Annual Black Mountain Arts and Crafts show have gone out to artists/crafters across the Southeast.

The show will be held June 2 and June 3, 2012 during the peak of the Mountain Air Wildflower Season. Located in the Blue Ridge Mountains just 15 miles east of Asheville, Black Mountain has long been a rich and varied arts and crafts community.

From the 1930's to the mid 1950's the town was home for Black Mountain College, which still claims alumni of worldwide renown in the arts. More and more, the town is becoming a center for arts and crafts, antiques and furniture, which attracts tourists from throughout the nation for its unique offerings.

The Old Depot Association is sponsoring the event, giving the show a degree of experience in the arts, marketing, and show management seldom seen in shows of this type.

Artists/crafters seeking to enter the juried show should email Meredith Green at craftshow@olddepot.org or call Joan Tolley at 828-669-4563 28711.

Applications Accepted until May 1, 2012.
