A boutique art show and sale featuring a group of talented local artists and crafts people in a variety of mediums on a lovely wooded property in the country.

This show coincides with the first Saturday of the Orange County Open Studio Tour, so drop by if you’re planning to be out touring. Just follow the yellow signs!

We are on the “fringe” of the tour geographically (10 minutes Northwest of Downtown Hillsborough) and artistically- featuring art with an emphasis on self-taught, folk art, and the use of salvaged/ reclaimed materials.
(Some might say that some of the personalities involved are “fringey” too!

Artists:

~Mark Cool-ivegotahammer. Efland NC.
Folk/ outsider art made from reclaimed wood and found objects.
