Bedford part of fledgling Artisan Trail Network

An Artisan Trail Network program is being established by the Artisans Center of Virginia in partnership with Bedford County.

Under the leadership of the Artisan Trail Bedford Pioneer Task Force and the Artisans Center of Virginia, Bedford County has formed a new public-private initiative to further strengthen the relationship between its creative and agricultural businesses while emphasizing visitor experiences, special places and locally made products.

The ACV Artisan Trail Network is designed to attract visitors to artisan studios, agri-artisan farms and local craft businesses while creating opportunities for participating and supporting businesses,

In addition to the craft, artist and agricultural artisan businesses, supporting sites such as locally owned lodging, restaurants and cultural points of interest are welcome to become participants on the trail.

For more information, call Sherri Smith at 886-1684 or email director@artisanscenterorvirginia.org.
