An Appalachian Summer Festival will again celebrate the "fine art of summer," with an eclectic array of music, dance, theatre and visual arts events scheduled from July 1 31, 2004.

The Rosen Outdoor Sculpture Competition & Exhibition, as well as exhibition programs and workshops presented by the Turchin Center for the Visual Arts comprise the festival's dynamic offerings in the visual arts.
An Appalachian Summer Festival has been named as one of the "top twenty events in the southeast" by the Southeast Tourism Society for more than a decade, and is highly regarded for the breadth and quality of its innovative artistic programs, as well as the scenic beauty of its mountain setting-a combination which appeals to residents and visitors alike.
