Labor Day Weekend Events: Art on the Green in Banner Elk NC

September 3 - 4, 2016 in BANNER ELK  NC – Shoppers can add to their collections of art and support historic preservation at the same time during the Art on the Greene show.

The show takes place on the green in front of the Historic Banner Elk School, with proceeds from booth rentals going directly to renovation efforts for the 1930s-era school.

“We consider ourselves a master craft event. We’re geared toward artists who are involved in any medium in the Appalachian tradition of hand crafters,” says show director Kimberly Tufts. “We actually have a gentleman from Boone who builds sculptures out of stone. We have metal artists, glass artists, potters, and high-quality jewelry from all types of makers. We have wood workers of all varieties from furniture to home decor wood items, as well as painters in a variety of mediums – watercolor, acrylic and oil.”

The Labor Day weekend event is the last of three Art on the Greene events that take place yearly during the three summer holiday weekends – Memorial Day, July Fourth and Labor Day.

The shows have been held for more than a decade. This is the second year the Town of Banner Elk has operated Art on the Greene to benefit the historic school built in 1939 as a Works Progress Administration (WPA) project during the Great Depression.

Proceeds from the three shows last year were used to repaint the interior of the former school and install a new heating system.

“This is our jewel property in downtown Banner Elk and what we’re trying to do is revitalize the property and the building itself,” Tufts says. “The purpose is for community use and life-long learning.”

There is no admission charge for the show, which runs from 10 AM. to 5 PM. both days. Food will be available from The Real Food Truck of Asheville.

“We’re focused on embracing our Appalachian heritage with local and regional artists – really highlighting things in the hand-crafted Appalachian tradition,” says Tufts.

August 18, 2016 at Brusin' Ales, 66 Broadway Street in downtown Asheville NC    Fullsteam Brewery Beer Tasting.  This Thursday Brusin' Ales will be joined by Stuart Shefter from Fullsteam Brewery out of Durham, North Carolina. Established in 2008, Fullsteam was one of the first breweries in North Carolina to focus on brewing with local and regional products. Today they continue source the ingredients for their ingenious beers from farmers and manufacturers right here in North Carolina.

Cack-a-lacky: Brewed in partnership with Page Skelton, president of Cackalacky in Chapel Hill, N.C. A zippy, hoppy ginger pale ale that's enjoyable on its own and a perfect complement to spicy food.
Southern Basil:  Bright, lively farmhouse ale with ever-changing local basil and N.C. wheat.
Rocket Science:  Rocket Science is a true-to-style American IPA inspired by the quest for harmony. We longed for an IPA that exuded confidence in its restraint, that paired well with any meal, and that wouldn't destroy your palate.
Fearrington India Tea Ale:  This beer is a new twist on a traditional IPA. Made with 18% local malt this beer has the flavors and aromas of an IPA but with a toned down ABV that makes it more palatable for the hotter months.
Fearrington Apple ESB:  Fearrington A[pple ESB is our take on an English style Extra Special Bitter (ESB). What makes this beer stand out from other English bitters is the addition of 100 lbs of Foggy Ridge's apple pomace to each batch.
