Program: Piedmont Craftsmen
Speaker: Jane Doub, President & CEO
At its beginning, Piedmont Craftsmen created the guidelines for a juried exhibiting
artist membership, educated the public to fine crafts, and offered an annual Craftsmen’s Fair and a Gallery/shop to meet the mission of promoting and selling members’ works. To this day, the organization continues to be the preeminent crafts guild locally, arguably in the southeast United States, and one of the oldest established arts organizations in Winston-Salem.
Piedmont Craftsmen has attracted artisans from across the United States who are
masters of their craft, producing work that is distinctive and innovative. The
gallery/shop is located in the heart of Winston-Salem’s Art District and the annual
Craftsmen’s Fair is held at the Benton Convention Center. For more information, visit
the website at www.piedmontcraftsmen.org.
