Art on the Greene – Labor Day Weekend

Four times each summer, the green at the Historic Banner Elk School comes to life with Art on the Greene, featuring quality, hand-made arts and crafts from select local and regional artisans.

The number of artists exhibiting at each show ranges from 40 to 60. They represent a variety of media, such as metal, glass, ceramics, wood, watercolor, acrylics and oil.

Each show allows shoppers to add to their art collections while supporting historic preservation at the same time. Booth rental proceeds go to the Town of Banner Elk for ongoing efforts to transform the Historic Banner Elk School into a center for visual and performing arts.

There’s no charge for admission to Art on the Greene, which is situated in the heart of town. Attendees may come and go as they please, and are encouraged to stroll to adjacent restaurants, shops, boutiques and galleries.

Art on the Greene takes place Memorial Day weekend, Fourth of July weekend, the first weekend in August, and Labor Day weekend.
