CAST is one of six active regional chapters of  (TACA). It encompasses the southern Tennessee counties from Wayne County to Polk County.

TACA holds two craft fairs each year in Nashville's Centennial Park. CAST members participate in TACA's craft fairs by exhibiting, demonstrating a craft, and volunteering for other duties.

CAST's big event for each year is its HOLIDAY STUDIO TOUR, held during the first weekend in December in the Sewanee and Monteagle, Tennessee area. Over 35 craft artists will present a wide variety of crafts and products at the event. You will find pottery, wood furniture, wood carvings, handmade books, jewelry, and many other items made from wood, glass, metals, and fabrics.

For the past three years CAST has held a silent auction on the July 4 weekend at LOCAL's Gallery on University Avenue in Sewanee, TN. We expect to do the same in 2012. The auction has been a big success and fun for everyone who participated as a craft person or as a buyer. Details will be included here as plans are made final. Please come by and place a bid or two on some outstanding craft items. At the same time you will enjoy a beautiful gallery and the many other items there.

Proceeds from the auction benefit the local CAST Chapter.
