Our mission is to promote creativity by offering education and mentoring in art and craft, studios to explore and develop skills, a retail market for qualified artists, and a gallery to exhibit regional art. Our vision is to be a center of excellence for artistic expression, serving the creative needs of the Appalachian community.

We offer a wide variety of classes rooted in traditional arts such as blacksmithing, pottery, weaving, and woodworking—for youth, adults, and seniors. Classes are available year-round and are designed to support learners of all backgrounds, whether you're discovering a new passion or refining your craft.

Our on-site Retail Market features the work of over 40 regional artists, offering one-of-a-kind handmade items that reflect the spirit of Appalachian craftsmanship.
