You are invited to participate in the Alleghany Arts Council’s Art in the Park, a fine art and fine crafts show in Sparta, NC. Just an hour drive from Winston-Salem and close to the Blue Ridge Parkway, Sparta is nestled in the heart of the Blue Ridge Mountains and is a destination for summertime travelers who want to escape the heat and crowded streets of the city. Many have summer homes here and spend their summers with us.
