The Arts and Crafts Community is the largest group of independent artisans in North America. The community is located 3 Miles From downtown Gatlinburg, Hwy 321 North.
This historic 8-mile loop in Gatlinburg, TN, has been designated a Tennessee Heritage Arts & Crafts Trail. Established in 1937, these artisans whittle, paint, sew, cast, weave and carve to create original collectibles such as candles, baskets, quilts, brooms, pottery, jewelry, dolls, ceramics, scrimshaw, silversmithing, leather, stained glass, wearable fashions, fine photography, frameable art, oils and watercolors, also lodging, restaurants, cafés, tea room, soda fountain, and candy shops.
Many businesses in the Arts and Crafts community have been struggling due to the pandemic. Help support the business owners by shopping with them. Here is a list of shops that are currently open in the Glades.
