Look for announcement of May 2020 date coming soon.

The MayFaire

March 6, 2019

Dear Friend of Clifton Forge School of the Arts,
Over the past few weeks we have been working hard to pull together the many hands and services that it takes to offer a major event such as The MayFaire. Regretfully, we have found that this year our date presents a conflict for many people.
After looking at all this information and other logistics that we have going on here at the School of the Arts, we have regretfully (but realistically) decided to cancel the event for 2019. We are not abandoning the idea of this event for 2020, and we welcome volunteer support to help make it happen!
We appreciate all of our friends and supporters, thank you for understanding, and wish you a very happy spring.
STAY TUNED FOR ANNOUNCEMENT OF THE MAYFAIRE 2020 DATE!
Brought to you by the people who offer our region’s popular Kriskindlmarkt, Clifton Forge School of the Arts is transforming its fabulous Mill, garden, and the banks of Smith Creek for The MayFaire, a celebration of Spring and the Arts, to give visitors an opportunity to purchase plants of all kinds (bedding, perennials, hanging, and unique), and quality, handmade gifts by 35+ talented artisans for the home, garden, gardener, and Mother’s Day.

We have plants, garden wares and handmade gifts. Stay tuned for info on the delicious foods we have planned!  Look for our Outstanding Raffle and Silent Auctions sure to please Mom.  We may even have a visit from Mother Nature...  

​See area artists painting and drawing in our garden and throughout the region and purchase their work at the ‘Wet Paint’ Sale.

The MayFaire  is a fundraiser for Clifton Forge School of the Arts, the community art school of the Alleghany Highlands, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization.
