Welcome ...

Craft collectors, buyers, and anyone interested in finding craft made in rural Virginia. Whether you are searching for a gift, stocking a gallery half way across the world, or simply planning a scenic day trip, the Alleghany Craft Network will prove to be one of your important information resources.

Here you will find artisans and craft galleries, festivals and more located in the western part of Virginia. Included are the rural areas of Alleghany, Augusta, Bath, Botetourt, Craig, Highland, Roanoke, Rockbridge and Rockingham counties. Click these links to read what people are saying about the project, a note from the director, a note from the sponsor and the special exhibition.

To view the nearly 300 listings with images , simply click the map of Virginia above which opens the Regional Directory.* (PDF, approx. 4mb) Alternately if you have a dial-up connection, or interest in a particular county, you might want to begin by clicking on the smaller individual county links. County Directories with a large number of listings will take longer to load than those for counties with only a few listings.

News Extras ... Be sure to visit the News Room to read numerous articles from people in the Directory who wrote to tell us more about their work. Please click these links for the Media Center, and further background information concerning this grant project which closed August 31, 2008.
