Artists will paint on the shell of dried gourds, and may also process the gourd by carving, sanding, burning or dying the gourd to enhance their work of art. Once thought to be only a craft, gourd art has developed into a featured art form in some areas of the country and has been the subject of home and garden television shows and several art galleries and magazines. You can find the oldest running gourd festival in North Carolina, and the American Gourd Society in Kokomo, Indiana.
