& Creative Market

|
The Round Top Folk Art Fair & Creative Market, featuring contemporary artisans in many areas of interest including woodcarvers, tinsmiths, custom and twig furniture makers, needle workers, creators of folk dolls, custom floor cloths, bird houses, paintings, country-style fashions, is a source for custom-made accessories, all to enhance the country lifestyle.
The majority of Folk Art Fair exhibitors work in original, colonial and traditional styles. Many have their work represented in Folk Art Museums and gallery collections throughout the nation and each is an established artist with his own collector following. This setting offers the opportunity to add decorative accessories both important and with a touch of whimsy.
The new air-conditioned show barn opened in Spring 2006 and is an attractive setting for exhibitors to show off their best work. There are acres of free parking, plus delicious South Louisiana cuisine catered by Daniel Marks' Tops Cafe.
