Black Friday & Shop Small Saturday Promotions

Give Local, Handmade Gifts this Holiday Season

The Southwest Virginia Cultural Center & Marketplace will offer customers special Black Friday and Shop Small Saturday discounts.

  The Southwest Virginia Cultural Center & Marketplace in Abingdon is proud to feature beautiful, handmade gifts from more than 150 local artisans.

Items for sale in each of the galleries have been handcrafted from ‘Round the Mountain members. The items showcase the rich creative heritage of Southwest Virginia and provide the best masterpieces of the region’s artisan network. The store’s inventory ranges from painted gift cards to pottery, quilts, wood items, leather goods, and jewelry.

‘Round the Mountain Board President Ellen Reynolds opened her first business in 1977. Her current business, Beagle Ridge Herb Farm, which specializes in lavender products, has been in operation now for 21 years.

“By purchasing artisan-made products, you transfer the heart that went into the creation of that gift to the recipient,” Reynolds said. “It allows me to continue to create, and it humbles me to know people spend their hard-earned dollar on our products.”

Customers who shop either in person or online on Black Friday, November 25, will receive 15 percent off their purchase with promo code15off.

Deals will continue on Shop Small Saturday, November 26, with 10 percent off with the promo code ShopSmallSWVA.

‘Round the Mountain Artisan Network at the Southwest Virginia Cultural Center & Marketplace launched its new e-commerce platform just over a month ago to provide users the option for delivery or in-store pickup. Gift wrapping options are also available through the online store. The online store can be accessed at shop.swvaculturalcenter.com.

The physical location is located at One Heartwood Circle in Abingdon, VA.
