    The work of over 80 craft artisans will be available for purchase as The White Oak Craft Fair returns for its 19th year, offering something of interest for everybody who delights in items and products that are individually designed and hand crafted. This juried event celebrates the traditions of split white oak basketmaking and chairmaking that have earned Woodbury, Tenn. the title of "Basketmaking Capital of Appalachia". Taking place among the beautiful rolling hills of Cannon County along the East Fork Stones River just down from the Arts Center, this festival is expected to attract record crowds.

    The real stars of the fair are the 80+ professional contemporary and heritage craftsmen. Their remarkable works of pottery, jewelry, woodcarving, charcoal drawings, knives, stained glass, folk art, photography, chairs, baskets, whimsical artwork, weaving, woodwork, glass, quilts, wood furniture, swings, wood bowls, scrollwork, walking sticks, watercolor and prints, needlework, ironwork, candles and much more grab the spotlight at this event. Along with food booths to tempt the palate and quench the thirst, The Arts Center Cafe will provide great southern cooking inside the Arts Center. A distinguished jury will award cash prizes of $1,000 to the crafts artists as a way of promoting quality and integrity in the craft arts. The White Oaks Craft Fair is sponsored by the Cannon Association of Craft Artists and is made possible in part by the Tennessee Arts Commission. Donations go to the Woodbury Lions Club.
