For the third year, Explore Asheville is publishing an online holiday gift guide that celebrates the area’s top creatives, makers and local producers in 2022. Do you have a product that would be a great stocking stuffer, holiday gift or present for a loved one? We want to know!
How to Qualify?
To be eligible to participate, artists must meet the following criteria.
- Products must be made in Buncombe County
- Only tangible/physical products are allowed in the gift guide; experiences or virtual offerings are not eligible
- Artists must have adequate stock/inventory of products. Do not submit a product if you are unable to fulfill items or if you have only a few items on hand as things will quickly sell out!

- Handcrafted Wares (e.g., scarves, handbags, wallets, jewelry, headbands, clothing, etc.)
- Artisan Food & Beverages (locally-produced food and beverage items; curated gift boxes also qualify.)

- Art & Craft (e.g., fine art, pottery, glass, ceramics, wood, etc.)
Only one (1) submission is allowed per artist/company. Submission deadline is October 14! Please try and submit as early as possible to be included in pre-holiday season promotions.
