37th Annual Appalachian Holiday Arts and Crafts Fair Dec. 2

Downtown Morehead, Inc. and the Kentucky Folk Art Center (KFAC) present the 37th Annual Appalachian Holiday Arts and Crafts Fair on Saturday, Dec. 2, 9 a.m. - 4 p.m. at the Laughlin Health Building.

More than 100 juried artisans will be at the event, offering a variety of handcrafted wood items, ceramics, homemade baked goods, jewelry, and more. Food vendors will be located outside the venue.

“The fair is an opportunity for customers to purchase original artisan handcrafted work directly from the artist or vendor,” said Tammy Stone, KFAC administrative coordinator.

Admission to the fair is $3, and children 12 and under are admitted for free.

The Kentucky Folk Art Center (KFAC) at Morehead State University houses a permanent collection of nearly 1,400 pieces of self-taught art. Dozens of works from the collection are displayed on a rotating basis in the center’s first-floor gallery. The Center presents several new changing exhibits each year in the second-floor gallery, featuring folk art, fine art, textiles, photography, and historical content. The gift shop offers original folk art, crafts, jewelry, books, toys, housewares and more. KFAC hosts or sponsors regular cultural events and activities each year, like the Appalachian Holiday Arts & Crafts Fair, on the first Saturday in December.
