    THIS YEAR'S SHOW IS DEDICATED TO

    Clyde Jones, the creator of chainsaw art, the unofficial mayor of Bynum, NC and a legend in the folk art world, passed away on Christmas Eve. Gilda McDaniel - my fellow showrunner and good friend - wrote this tribute to him, and we're so glad to be able to share it with you. When you come to the show this year, stop by our Clyde celebration space and let's swap stories about him. Boy do we miss him.

    ABOUT THE SHOW

    Two colorful paper mache cat sculptures, one yellow and one green, both with large eyes, white whiskers, and long pink tongues sticking out, are displayed on a brown surface.

    The Fearrington Folk Art Show began more than 20 years ago when founder R.B. Fitch invited self-taught Southern artists to exhibit their work in the Village Barn, creating an intimate winter gathering that celebrated bold, original outsider art. The show has always been invitation-only, with no booth fees or commissions, reinforcing its purpose as a community celebration rather than a commercial fair.

    Over the years, more than 30 painters, sculptors, and mixed-media artists have shown their work here, filling the Barn with everything from whimsical paintings to inventive recycled-object sculptures. The event has earned regional recognition, including a feature in Garden & Gun’s roundup of Southern towns with standout art scenes.

    Today, curators Gilda McDaniel and Kerstin Lindgren carry the tradition forward, blending longtime favorites with fresh new talent. Each winter, the Barn transforms into a lively, colorful marketplace where visitors meet artists, discover new work, and experience the creative spirit that has defined the show since its beginning.
