These events are sponsored by the City of Abbeville. The Artist Guild helps pay for advertising for the Arts and Crafts portion of the events. Artists and craftsmen from the surrounding areas are invited to display, exhibit and demonstrate their crafts and artwork in the Livery Stable and along Trinity Street. The objective of our involvement in the events is to provide the community with an art experience and to attract visitors to the area. The weekend events brings visitors- artists and patrons- into town from the surrounding areas. Both events features a juried craft show judged by the Abbeville Artist Guild. Two awards are presented each year. One award is for the best booth presentation; and the other is for the best in show of an item.
