Press release:
On Sunday, November 22, from noon until 5 pm, around a dozen local artists and crafters will come together at New Mountain Asheville (38 N. French Broad Ave.) for a special holiday market to benefit Arts For Life. Their offerings will range from baby gifts to jewelry and clothing to pottery. A portion of the day’s sales will help fund the Asheville nonprofit’s pediatric arts education programs for Western North Carolina’s children and families facing serious illness and disability.
Slated vendors include The High Fiber Co. (printed textiles); Hip-Remix (upcycled skirts, scarves, and hats); ElloLovey (art prints and cards); Essential Journeys (soaps, candles, lip balms, and lotions); Donna Hollinshead (inspirational shirts, journals, and cards); Andrea Freeman (pottery); Cara Mae Skin Care (skin butter); Caroline Yarborough (jewelry); and more.
“We’re so thankful to operate in such a supportive arts community,” says Arts For Life’s executive director, Rachel Zink. “We’re beyond fortunate that Asheville-area artists and crafters not only volunteer their time and skills in our educational hospital programs but also generously give of their sales to support our work with the region’s children and families in need.”
The 2015 Handmade Holidays Market is sponsored by New Mountain Asheville. For more information, including a complete vendor list, visit artsforlifenc.org/handmadeholidays and the event page at facebook.com/artsforlifenc.
