International Woodcarvers Congress

The International Woodcarvers Congress is the longest running, competitively judged, woodcarving art show in the United States. It is truly the most prestigious show of its kind. Artists from all over the United States, Canada and overseas have competed for cash and awards at the “Congress.” Open to the public the last Thursday-Saturday.

The show and competition are just a part of the festivities held during “Congress Week.” “Congress Week” is held the second full week of June at the Jackson County Fairgrounds. Other activities during the week include a series of carving seminars, the Awards Banquet, the AWC Membership Meeting and the Judges’ Critique Sessions.
