FAIR INFORMATION
The Mountain State Art & Craft Fair was introduced as part of West Virginia’s Centennial Celebration. It was intended to be a one-time event in 1963 to provide a marketplace for the state’s talented artisans. That remains the goal more than a half century later.
Artisans who exhibit at the fair are selected by a jury of experts. Their products represent some form of traditional or contemporary Appalachian arts and crafts.
West Virginia’s Art & Craft Guild has been affiliated with the Fair since its inception. Tamarack: The Best of West Virginia, also has a working agreement with the Fair.
Cedar Lakes Conference Center is operated by the West Virginia Department of Agriculture.
Fair attendees enjoy music, dance, art, and agriculture.
Skilled artisans have been gathering since 1963 at Cedar Lakes Conference Center for the Mountain State Art & Craft Fair.
Dates for the 57th annual event near Ripley are July 4-6, 2019. See MSACF.com for details.
