The Augusta Festival Juried Craft Fair stresses original, individually hand-made craft items with an emphasis on traditional techniques. The Augusta Festival Craft Fair will be juried by a committee of qualified professionals from within the regional art and craft community. Decisions of the jurors are based on merit and quality and the overall balance of the various media represented. All decisions will be final.
