From MATTIE Arts Center

Vendor applications are now being accepted for the annual Arts and Crafts Show in Swan Quarter. For years held the last Saturday in October and indoors, this year’s show will be held outdoors the last Saturday of September on the grassy square between the Hyde County Government Building and the MATTIE Arts Center.

The Arts and Crafts Show is part of the new “Fall Festival in Hyde,” celebrating the autumnal equinox. The festival includes a full day of live music, the four-year anniversary celebration of the MATTIE Arts Center, the monthly Farmers Market, the annual Swan Quarter Community Yard Sales and the Swan Quarter Volunteer Fire Department’s monthly lunch/dinner fundraiser.

Applications from artists and craft artisans will be juried according to best in media, originality and quality, and should be submitted no later than Aug. 4. Requests for applications or inquiries should be made to info@mattieartscenter.org or by calling 252-926-2787. This event is sponsored by the North Carolina Arts Council through a grassroots grant administered by Arts of the Pamlico.
