Mixed Media Exhibition - September 27th - December 3rd The mountains of Western North Carolina contain the fourth largest concentration of craft artists in the country. Such a large number of extremely talented creative people often leads to the sharing of ideas and media among artists. WNC is no exception to the phenomenon, and the efforts of this creative melting pot produce extraordinary works of art. In celebration of works of this nature, The Center for Craft, Creativity & Design proudly announces its fall Mixed Media Exhibition.
