Southwest Virginia: Autumn Market

ABINGDON, VA – ‘Round the Mountain: Southwest Virginia’s Artisan Network (RTM) and the Southwest Virginia Cultural Center & Marketplace will host their Autumn Market this Saturday, November 2, 2019 from 9:00 AM – 5:00 PM, featuring over 15 nationally known artisans from Southwest Virginia, local food and drink, and more. The event is free and open to the public.

The Autumn Market is one of four quarterly markets held at the SWVA Cultural Center & Marketplace (formerly Heartwood). The day will feature regionally crafted gifts and fun for the whole family. In addition to shopping, you can also help to support one of the SWVA Cultural Center & Marketplace’s very own. Profits from the day will benefit long-time employee Leigh Campbell, a SWVA Marketplace Associate and librarian. Please come out in support of Leigh, who recently was diagnosed with breast cancer. Leigh is a Washington County native and spends her day telling SWVA visitors and locals about our amazing artisans and 19 county region. She is also a long-time employee of the Washington County Public Libraries.

Shoppers can peruse from over 15 artisans from throughout Southwest Virginia demonstrating their craft and selling handcrafted wares and art. Visitors will have the opportunity to browse through an array of traditional and modern craft including jewelry, pottery, art, apparel, wood carvings, photography, lotions, and more.
