This annual event is an exhibition and sale of widely diverse
artwork from self-taught Southern artists who are deeply influenced by
the spirit of folk art, naïve art, primitivism and outsider
art. Featured artwork includes whimsical paintings, fantastical
robots, sculptures, pottery and more.
Fearrington has garnered a reputation for bringing together a
diverse group of artists who represent some of the best, most unique
work to be found in the outsider art world. We hope you'll
experience it for yourself!
Folk Art In The Village
Don't miss the whimsical, wind-driven
whirligigs that
greet visitors to Fearrington Village. The
elaborately engineered and colorful sculptures were created
by North Carolina artist Vollis Simpson. Now in his early
90s, Vollis continues to create whirligigs, although on a
much smaller scale, at his workshop in Lucama near Wilson,
NC. Vollis' work can be found at the North Carolina Museum
of Art in Raleigh, the American Visionary Art Museum in
Baltimore, and the annual Whirligig Festival in Wilson.
