Heritage Gallery
Consultants have been selected and work on the renovation of our gallery will begin in January 2008. When completed will display and depict the history of arts and crafts as a way of life in the region. It will include permanent exhibits containing artifacts or examples of heritage crafts as well as changing exhibits such as the Fiber in the Mountains, Western NC Handweavers Guild Show. Another section of the gallery will be designed for seminars, workshops and lectures, with space for working demonstrations. Check our current events listing for upcoming speakers and activities in the gallery.
We will showcase our new gallery with an open house on Saturday, April 26th, from 10am to 2pm. Come celebrate with us! Admission is free and refreshments will be served. There will be craft demonstrations in all the studios.
Our heritage arts and crafts gallery is supported by grants from The Blue Ridge National Heritage Area and the Unrestricted Fund at the Polk County Community Foundation.
We are accepting heritage arts and crafts pieces for display in our gallery. A donated item is tax-deductible, as we are a 501(c)(3) non-profit corporation. Your treasured heritage craft items could also be received “on loan”, for exhibit. Contact us for more information.
