Carolina Artisan Craft Market

The premier three-day market and show of fine craft includes more than 120 contemporary artists from across North Carolina and the U.S., artist demonstrations, live music and a public art installation.

Discover handmade gifts in downtown Raleigh November 6 - 8, 2015 at the 46th Annual Fine Designer Crafts Show.This festive event, held November 6 – 8, 2015 in downtown Raleigh, NC, is a trusted resource for collectors and the community at-large.

A rigorous two-step jury selection process draws emerging and career craft artists who are presenting craft at the highest level – reflecting a mastery of technique and originality of design.

Fine craft artists present a striking variety of glass, ceramics, wood, both wearable and decorative fibers, metal, leather, printmaking, photography and mixed media, as well as one-of-a-kind handmade furniture and both precious and semi-precious jewelry. Our juried Exhibiting Artist Members participating in the event are included below.  Additional new and emerging provisional artists who have been juried into the event will be added to this site in the coming weeks.

A special exhibition of work by the Don H. Johnson Pursuit of Passion Awardee Phillip Nolley will be on display throughout the weekend.  Get to the show in downtown Raleigh November 6 - 8, 2015 for the 46th Annual Fine Designer Crafts Show.
