Artist from Rutherford County and far beyond are participating in the 45th annual annual Tennessee Craft Fair in Nashville on Mothers Day Weekend (May 5-8th).

The Spring Tennessee Craft Fair is recognized as the premier craft festivals in Nashville and the Southeast, drawing 40-50,000 attendees from Boston, Houston, San Francisco and further.

Shop for the perfect gift for someone special (including yourself), watch live craft demonstrations, participate in fun kids' activities and grab some delicious food! The events serve as an opportunity for artists to showcase their work and connect to the community, demonstrating and sharing their craft knowledge and inspiring future generations of craft artists and collectors. As always, this event is free and open to the public.

The Tennessee Association of Craft Artists (TACA) is now Tennessee Craft. Since 1965, the organization has worked to continue and create Tennessee's fine craft tradition. With more than 500 members throughout the state, Tennessee Craft serves as the premier connecting point for local, independent makers and their audiences through Craft Fairs, exhibitions, professional development and educational programs.
