This open house event invites you to experience craft demonstrations in all studios, hands-on craft projects for children and more:

 

  • Take in live musical performances by The Ballinger Family Band and Gypsy Pompe. Sponsored by TTU Center Stage.

 

  • Build-a-Bowl in support of Habitat for Humanity. Sponsored by Synergy: Mind Body Fitness Studio.

 

  • Enjoy discounts while shopping for one-of-a-kind works in The Gallery, 10 percent off everything – 20 percent for TTU employees.

 

  • TTU’s Visual Art Society, a student art organization, presents its annual spring sale during the celebration.

 

  • Support educational art outreach programs in Middle Tennessee while you participate in the annual Silent Auction. Silent Auction items are generously donated by Craft Center-affiliated and other regional artists.

 

“Proceeds from the Celebration of Craft directly serve the Craft Center’s educational outreach programs, serving thousands of students in Middle Tennessee each year,” said Gail Gentry, outreach coordinator for the Friends of the Appalachian Center for Craft of Tennessee.

 

The Appalachian Center for Craft is conveniently located approximately six miles from Interstate 40 at Exit 273 (Smithville /McMinnville). Go south on Hwy. 56; turn left immediately after crossing Hurricane Bridge. This drive leads to the Craft Center.
