FESTIVALS

In 2012, the festival will host the work of 165 exhibitors from 35 states across America. Each has been selected for excellence within their medium including jewelry, pottery, wood, blown glass, photography, clothing, metal, outdoor furniture, toys, candles, batiks, handmade paper, leather, hats and more. Find an incredible gift for Dad, or the perfect gift for yourself – there is amazing artistry this year and something for everyone.

Each year we make sure to have some of Nashville's incredible musical talent on hand to play live music for our guests. We will update the site with the artists as soon as we confirm the schedule of performers. It wouldn't be any fun without great refreshments—come and have a picnic lunch or dinner at the fair and enjoy a variety of delicious foods and beverages from more than twelve different vendors.  Finally, there is always a FREE Children’s Art booth for kids of all ages to create their own handiwork, with skilled supervision on hand.

GIVE BACK TO NASHVILLE: HONOR FOUNDER NANCY SATURN
Nancy Saturn, local arts pioneer, and the founder of the American Artisan Festival and Gallery, died on March 9, 2010 following a valiant fight against breast cancer. We plan to celebrate the life and legacy of Nancy Saturn, and her passion, which was both to support the arts in Nashville, as well as raise awareness and support for Gilda’s Club Nashville, a gathering place for people with cancer.

In Nancy's honor, we will donate 10% of all profits to support local arts organizations and Gilda's Club Nashville. Join us to make a difference!
