Exhibitors
The art and craft exhibitors at the Crozet Arts and Crafts Festival are a mix of local and national professionals who applied and were jury selected to be a part of this event. Local artists include Ben Greenberg (photographer), Nancy Ross (potter), Nan Dix (jeweler), Viesturs Osvalds (glass), Brenda Hardman (wood), and more.
At the 2018 Spring Festival we will also welcome Exhibitors from Minnesota (Thomas Siciliano, papermaker), Michigan (Sergio Barcena, metal sculptor), North Carolina (John Furches, traditional printmaker, and Lynn Butcher, glass jewelry maker), Maine (Wendy Waugaman, jeweler), Washington (Diana Mullen, fiber work), among others.
Media represented include jewelry, clothing and other fiber work, furniture, pottery and ceramics, home decor, gifts, toys, paintings, photography, leatherwork, culinary arts, and personal care items – all in a range of styles and price points to appeal to the casual shopper as well as the seasoned collector. This is an opportunity to meet the actual makers of these items and works and to develop personal connections and invest in the creative economy.
