ColorFest, Art & Food of Appalachia
Dillsboro, NC

Catch the Spirit of Appalachia, Inc. invites regional Blue Ridge Mountain artists to display and demonstrate their art form in the 5th annual event, ColorFest, Art & Food of Appalachia. This art festival has been formed to increase community awareness of the immense talent of our western North Carolina fine artists. ColorFest, Art & Food of Appalachia. is produced by Catch the Spirit of Appalachia, Inc. with support from the Dillsboro Merchants Association, Jackson County Visual Arts Association, the Jackson County Arts Council and Jackson County Chamber of Commerce.
      Beginning September 5, 2013 each participating artist will be given a prime location inside the shops in Downtown Dillsboro where his/her work will be spotlighted during the beautiful Fall Color Season in Western North Carolina. On the day of ColorFest, Art & Food of Appalachia, Saturday, the artists will set up easels on the street outside the shops, under awnings, where they will interact with the public from 10 am until 4 pm. During the art festival the artists have the opportunity to demonstrate how their art is created, talk with the public and sell artwork. This is a valuable opportunity for the visitors and residents of the Blue Ridge Mountains to see artists at work and learn about the creative process.
