The 38th Annual Village Art & Craft Fair, held at All Souls Cathedral on Swan St. in Biltmore Village, features original work by 125 artists from 17 states. Handmade treasures abound at this year’s showcase, which offers everything from bright oil and acrylic paintings to sparkling jewelry, ceramics, folk art, sculpture, works of glass, metal, wood and fiber art. The fair continues throughout the day, Saturday, Aug. 7, until 7 p.m. and is open again on Sunday, Aug. 8, from noon to 6 p.m. For more information about the fair click here.

Thanks for reading through to the end…
We share your inclination to get the whole story. For the past 25 years, Xpress has been committed to in-depth, balanced reporting about the greater Asheville area. We want everyone to have access to our stories. That’s a big part of why we've never charged for the paper or put up a paywall.
We’re pretty sure that you know journalism faces big challenges these days. Advertising no longer pays the whole cost. Media outlets around the country are asking their readers to chip in. Xpress needs help, too. We hope you’ll consider signing up to be a member of Xpress. For as little as $5 a month — the cost of a craft beer or kombucha — you can help keep local journalism strong. It only takes a moment.
Great photos! This is one of the best craft fares around. Tons of cool thing to see and buy! I had to leave before I spent too much money. I have been attending this event for more than 15 years. It is well worth braving the heat and the crowds to go. Parking is terrible. My suggestion is to park at the back of Biltmore Station and walk over.
