The 2012 TACA Spring Craft Fair!
TENNESSEE ASSOCIATION OF CRAFT ARTISTS
NASHVILLE TRADITION CELEBRATES FOUR DECADES OF CRAFT IN THE PARK
The Tennessee Association of Craft Artists will hold the 41st
anniversary of the TACA Tennessee Craft Fair May 4, 5 & 6 at
Nashville’s Centennial Park.
Visitors will enjoy a special
treat with the addition of painters and other traditionally fine
artists to this historically fine craft event, joining the more than
160 Tennessee craft artists who will have work on display during the
three-day event.
The green grass of Centennial Park will again bloom white as the tents
of artists from Memphis to Johnson City prepare for this exciting
anniversary.
From platforms on tree-trunks to a footprint covering most of the lawn
in front of the Parthenon, this year’s annual kickoff of
springtime is not to be missed. In addition to the fine craft artists
synonymous with TACA, Tennessee fine artists will be represented by
skilled painters and the Demonstration Tent will house exciting
opportunities for the public to see the hands behind that favorite mug
and the skill of woodturning with live demonstrations.
The TACA Craft Fairs are produced by the Tennessee Association of Craft
Artists (TACA), an independent, statewide nonprofit organization and
recipient of the Tennessee Governor’s Award in the Arts. By
maintaining high standards of excellence, the Tennessee Association of
Craft Artists is appreciated for producing festivals representing the
finest in American craftsmanship. We are proud to be a part of
Celebrate Nashville, the #1 Craft Fair in Tennessee as designated by
Harris List, and as one of the 200 Best List by the Sunshine Artist
magazine.
Founded in 1965, TACA is a statewide, nonprofit organization dedicated
to encouraging, developing and promoting crafts and craftspeople in
Tennessee. Through the use of Craft Fairs, TACA works to expose the
residents of Tennessee to the art of fine craft, while providing a
forum for creative and personal expression for the artists.
