A highlight of the Festival is the dedication to artist Johnny Waddill who graciously
permitted the festival's organizers to use his painting to brand the
Saluda Arts Festival. He died on March 1, 2013, and to honor Johnny
Waddill's love for art, the Saluda Business Association is dedicating
the 10th Annual Saluda Arts Festival to his memory. There
will be a special exhibit displaying his work during the festival at
the Saluda Center, 64 Greenville St., Saluda, NC. The Saluda Center will also be open as a "comfort station" for festival goers.
