ChristyFest SC Folk Art Show Winnsboro, SC 6/6-7/25

An Unforgettable Weekend of Art, Community & Inspiration

Wow—what an incredible event! We kicked things off Friday evening with a private gathering full of vibrant energy: stunning artwork, wonderful people, delicious food, great music, and refreshing drinks. Even more meaningful, a portion of Friday night’s art sales supported the local animal shelter and PETS, Inc. A huge thank you to all the patrons who supported PETS, Inc. and Chicken Fried Folk Art—your kindness and generosity made the evening even more special.

Saturday brought the heat—literally! Despite the high temps and humidity, the day was filled with laughter, camaraderie, and creativity. Surrounded by 20 talented artists—many of whom have become like family—it truly felt like a joyful reunion. We met so many new art lovers and had another fantastic day of sales.

A major highlight was being immersed in the magical environment created by our incredible host, Christy Buchanan. Not only is she a gifted artist, but the gardens and artful spaces she’s cultivated over the years are nothing short of inspiring. It’s hard to capture in words—you really have to see it to believe it. Be sure to scroll through the photos in this post to get a glimpse of the beauty!

We left feeling grateful, inspired, and more connected than ever. Thank you again to everyone who came out, supported the arts, and made the weekend so memorable.
