8th Annual Saluda Arts Festival
Saturday, May 21 promises to be a day filled with creativity and festivity in downtown Saluda
With more than 45 juried artists, this year's arts festival promises to be the best ever in eight years! Join us on Saturday, May 21 from 10am-5pm for this wonderful, free event.
Fine artists from all over western North Carolina and South Carolina will exhibit and sell oil, water colors, acrylic paintings and drawings, wood working, photography, pottery, jewelry, sculptures, stained glass, metal working, and more.
Enjoy watching live demonstrations of landscape painting, weaving, pottery, and blacksmithing.
Children will create their own works of art with an expanded Children's Tent.
Creating even more excitement for the festival is the music lineup that includes:
One Leg Up
Based in Asheville, North Carolina, One Leg Up performs a vibrant mixture of upbeat Gypsy Jazz, Latin, Swing and original jazz compositions and is a favorite of club, concert, and festival stages throughout the southeastern United States.
Swayback Sisters
The Swayback Sisters are Laura Blackley, Nikki Talley & Lyndsay Wojcik. This Asheville based roots trio decided to join forces and create a diverse musical experience for themselves as well as their audiences. While each sister is proficient in her songwriting and crafty guitar work, the real treat is the blending of their voices in three-part harmony.
Appalachian Brass Quintet from Brevard, NC.
Twenty students from The Dancer's Extension will perform their Spring Concert at the Saluda School auditorium at 11am on the day of the festival.
The music for the 8th annual Saluda Arts Festival is provided by a grant from the Polk County Community Foundation's Saluda Fund.
