Capital City Art & Craft Show

November 17, 2018 @ 4:00 pm - November 19, 2018 @ 8:00 pm

There is truly a cornucopia of creativity at the 51th Annual Capital City Art and Craft Show, everything from the simple to the sublime can be found within the artists booths. Creative artisans display treasures from traditional to contemporary for sale including jewelry, pottery, photography, fine arts, stone and metal sculpture. For many customers it’s an annual ritual to spend a day here, seeing their favorite exhibitors and meeting new ones, buying new works including gifts for the approaching holiday season. The show will feature artisans from seven states. The Country Kitchen will be offering delicious fall favorites and vendors will provide specialty food items.

Each year the sponsoring Kanawha City Lions Club provides the 15,000 visitors a weekend showcasing a Civic Center filled to the brim with high quality original items at affordable prices. Many of the craftsman are demonstrating products in progress. Visitors can also enjoy sampling a variety of West Virginia produced food products like salsa, dips, jellies, pickles, meatballs, cakes, sauces and wine. Regional authors will also offer book signing.

Since the Show’s inception, the Lions Club have used the proceeds of the event to donate more than $1.5 million dollars to state and local charities, as well as providing more than $100,000 in eyeglasses for local residents.

Persons attending the show are encouraged to bring nonperishable food products, which are provided, to local food pantries. Each year Lions are able to collect several thousand pounds of food to help those in need.
