2019 Sun Valley Arts & Crafts Festival
August 9th-11th, 2019
Atkinson Park, Ketchum, Idaho

This past summer 2018 we celebrated the 50th year of the Sun Valley Center Arts & Crafts Festival. This 50th anniversary marks a milestone in our historyone of which we are very proud. It is also a great time to look to the future. After compiling the results of our membership survey and much internal discussion, Center leadership decided this was the appropriate time to find a new producer for this event so that we are able to focus more deeply on our mission and why we are part of this communityto provide transformative arts and educational experiences. After celebrating 50 years, we will pass on the Arts & Crafts Festival to our friend and colleague, Art Daves.

We are gratified to know that the Arts & Crafts Festival will still be part of our summers here in the valley and will be in very good hands. In order to ensure a smooth transition, Art has asked SVCA to facilitate the jurying process for the 2019 festival to ensure its quality is not compromised. The festival will continue to be run as a juried event with all the integrity, high quality and variety you expect. We look forward to seeing what Art Daves and his team will do to continue to improve the experience, while staying true to the festival's traditions, artistic integrity and community experience.

As this era comes to conclusion, we thank our members, the multitude of artists, attendees, and the community partners, who have supported this festival over the last 50 years. We encourage you to continue your support of this celebration of the artist and their craft.
