About the Artists -

 

Mack Rowe, a resident of Madison County, creates imaginative and humorous artwork in his private "Art Ark" from found objects.  His specialty is "Rowe-bots" and there will be many on display and for sale in all shapes and sizes.  Mack is an accomplished writer, watercolor artist and professional cartoonist. 

 

Rodrick Rhodes is an art educator in Louisa County.  His striking collection of colorful, everyday objects turned into works of art will captivate your imagination and senses.  His work is playful and just downright fun!   This is one of the first times such a large collection of his work has been on display in one location.

 

Please make a point to attend the show.  There are two entrances with plenty of parking on Jacks Shop Road and Route 29.

The event has earned its reputation for uniqueness with a following of visitors that return every year. In 1999 it was named as one of the top 20 festivals in the southeastern region. This occasion started in 1992 as a heritage festival that celebrates the Mountain and Traditional cultures of the 18th & 19th century America as reflected in the customs and history of the Blue Ridge Mountains region and has continued this theme.

The entire family can enjoy the day, browsing, shopping, enjoying the games, riding ponies, listening to great music, eating and taking pleasure in the vast array of entertainment.
