The 23rd Annual White Oak Craft Fair is slated for the Arts Center of Cannon County, and the organizers are accepting juried entries now for the September 8th and 9th event.
Arts Center spokesperson Carol Reed commented, "Come be a part of the 2012 White Oak Craft Fair. Be one of our artists and craft vendors and display your beautiful and unique wares along the banks of the East Fork Stones River just down from the Arts Center of Cannon County."
Top craft artisans from throughout the region will offer for sale their original textiles, jewelry, woodcarving, metalwork, pottery, photography, chairs, baskets, ironwork, stained glass and much more.
The White Oak Craft Fair presents an enormous variety of work, all of which is chosen for it excellence and integrity by a highly respected selection panel. In an age when mass production makes so many things widely available, the White Oak Crafts Fair celebrates the inspiration and skill of the individual maker as well as being an opportunity to appreciate uniqueness. Although a high percentage of the participants in the show are typically perennial favorites, new exhibitors join the show each year, so there is always room for something new and fresh for visitors to look forward to.
Reed noted that artists who recommend a friend will receive $20 off your booth fee, if they are juried in! They must be a first time vendor, and put your name on their application.
The White Oak Fair is juried and applicants must send at least three pictures or slides with application. Over 4000 people visit the fair each year and a promotional campaign in print, on radio and on TV is being conducted to assure highest possible attendance. Admission to the fair is FREE with a $2 donation for supervised parking benefiting the local Lion’s Club and The Arts Center.
