Art on the Green

Art on the Greene Takes Place in the Heart of the Walkabout Village of Banner Elk, Which Allows Patrons to Make a Day of It by Visiting Shops and Boutiques in Town and Selecting From an Impressive List of Restaurants in the “Culinary Hot Spot of the High Country.”

Craft Vendors Represent a Variety of Media, Such as Metal, Glass, Ceramics, Wood, Watercolor, Acrylics and Oil. Attendees Can Find Everything From Hand-crafted Furniture to a One-of-a-kind Piece of Art Made in the Blue Ridge Mountains.

It is Home to the Be (Banner Elk) Artists Gallery, Ensemble Stage Professional Theater, a Community Book Exchange and More.
