Celebrating its heritage and arts culture, the Saluda Business Association has announced its 16th annual Saluda Arts Festival, scheduled for May 18, 2019, in historic downtown Main Street in Saluda. 

Stretching along Main Street, every art media is represented in this popular annual event, including paintings, pottery, metal work, jewelry, sculptures, fiber and more.

“In its 16th year, many of the artists who exhibit at the Saluda Arts Festival have been coming every year since 2003,” said a spokesperson for the event. 

Festival organizers expect a large number of entries for this one-day spring event. Some types of work (i.e. jewelry) will be accepted on a limited basis. 

Early entries will be given first choice of booth location. The deadline is March 15 for entry.
