Asheville Art in the Park will once again be providing access to some of the finest artists in the region with it�s market series now in its third year. The event takes place on three consecutive Saturdays each June and October. Nationally known artists exhibit at this event and the best part is- they are local. Muddy Knees Design and Production is proud to once again offer local artists the opportunity to connect with the public in Asheville�s Pack Square Park. This Years June dates are the 18th, and 25th from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. The Asheville Art in the Park market hosts only high quality art and fine craft vendors allowing customers the chance to be completely immersed in art at every turn. Pottery, lamp working, blacksmithing, painting, quilting, jewelry, woodworking, drawing, metalsmithing, paper making and more are represented at this handmakers event. You are invited to come out to Asheville Art in the Park. Take a stroll around the Vance Monument and Hoss Haley�s marvelous fountain and experience the textures and forms of a truly unique garden. You will not only be participating in an art market, but you will be part of a cycle of giving as 10% of the proceeds from the event will be donated to a local art non-profit organization. Asheville Art in the Park began in early 2009 when two local artists, glass artists Jason Probstein and ceramic artist Andrew Montrie were looking for a quality local market to sell their wares. Both artists exhibit nationally at The Buyers Market of American Craft in Philadelphia. While exhibiting at this show the two artists discussed the possibility of creating a high quality art market in downtown Asheville, North Carolina. Word spread through the exhibit hall as the two artists promoted the idea to their peers. Once home in Asheville, the pair realized the importance of connecting with and supporting the local arts community. For more information, please visit ashevilleartinthepark.com.
