ACV Announces Augusta County Artisan Trail
July 18, 2011
The Artisans Center of Virginia is pleased to announce the next artisan trail development to begin this fall in Augusta County, including the cities of Waynesboro and Staunton. At their July 2011 meeting, the Greater Augusta Regional Tourism Board (made up of representatives from Augusta County, Waynesboro and Staunton) approved granting funds for the implementation and participation on the management team for the development of the artisan trail program in its area.
The ACV Artisan Trail Network with its community loops are designed to attract visitors to artisan studios, agri-artisan farms, and local craft businesses. A 2008 research study, based on similar trails in Western North Carolina, demonstrated that 97% of travelers make a purchase somewhere along the trail, and artisan studios and farms have shown an increase of 23% in sales and craft shops and galleries reported a 28% increase in revenue.
Please return to the ACV web site this fall for more information about our new artisan trail and to enroll.
