The Fearrington Folk Art Show has attracted art lovers and collectors from around the state for over twenty years. The show has garnered a reputation for bringing together an eclectic group of self-taught artists representing some of the most captivating work in the folk art world. Whimsical works in many mediums—paintings, sculptures, pottery—exemplify the spirit of folk art, primitivism, and outsider art.

The next Fearrington Folk Art Show is Sat, Feb 22, and Sunday, Feb 23, 2025, from 10am-5pm in Fearrington Village. Admission is $5 (cash only) at the door. Get a first look, purchase art, and enjoy light hors d’oeuvres at the Collector’s Preview Fri, Feb 21, 2025. The preview is a reservation-only event. Tickets go on sale a few months beforehand. Fearrington Village will announce participating artists in the latter half of the year. For more information about the show and accessibility, contact [email protected].

Our friends Charlie and Susan at Frye Studios first discovered Chatham County as participating artists during past shows. You can learn more about their studio here. They were featured in Garden & Gun’s “Small Towns with Big Art Scenes Across the South.” Enjoy this look back, thanks to Walter Magazine.
