We are a collective of like minded entrepreneurs living and working in the southwestern Virginia region. The group consists of creative and passionate artists, crafters and others who demonstrate the diverse skills and interests of this area of Appalachia.
The project started years ago actually, when Tami Quesenberry and Bonnie Cranmer had a garden center and gift shop in Craig County. While it’s been years since then, the two remained friends and when Tami found the place, the two put their heads together to make it happen!
The New River Vendors Village intends to bring local arts, crafts, antiques, furniture and jewelry, just to name a few items, together to represent the region for both residents and visitors. Oh, and don’t forget the food! We have surprises planned.
Tami Quesenberry is an experienced landscape designer, floral genius and brings extraordinary crafting skills to the project along with her business experience. She uses upcycled materials in her crafts and has an infectious positive spirit.
Bonnie Cranmer is a graduate of The Advancement Foundation’s business accelerator program, The Gauntlet, in 2021. She is an avid environmentalist and creates herb infused paper and sculpture with recycled paper, herbs, flowers and seeds.
We’re seeking to connect with businesses interested in renting indoor and outdoor space. There are events in the planning stages and we look forward to an exciting and profitable 2024!
