This photograph depicts regional crafts exhibited at the meeting of the Conference of Southern Mountain Workers held in Knoxville, Tenn., March 1930. The Southern Mountain Handicraft Guild held its first official meeting in conjunction with the Conference. Charter and future guild members submitted items for the exhibition to show the range and quality of regional crafts. Allen Eaton arranged the displays. Written on the back of this photograph is: "Plate no. 3. A view of the handicrafts exhibition from the entrance. The Sunday School rooms of the church were used. New walls of beaver board and pine were built to provide an appropriate background for the exhibits." The view is left to right of the classrooms and their displays. Examples of weaving and rug punching dominate with an appliquéd quilt in room 4. Some furniture is also visible.
