Support from our community, through generous donations, ensures Arrowmont continues to be a place where craft transforms, connects, and enriches the lives of thousands of artists and makers – of all ages – each year.

Arrowmont is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization.


Crafting the Future, Together.

For over a century, Arrowmont has served as a sanctuary for the human spirit, a place where the rhythmic click of a loom, the scent of fresh-cut wood, and the heat of the kiln connect us to our history and to each other.

Why Your Support Matters

Workshop fees only cover a portion of the student experience, it is the generosity of our community that fuels our broader mission. Your gift does more than “keep the lights on”; it provides the soul of the Arrowmont experience.

  • You Provide Opportunity: In just the last year, donor-funded scholarships and over $250,000 in financial aid turned creative dreams into reality for more than 150 artists who otherwise could not have attended a workshop.

  • You Protect Heritage: Your support brings hands-on craft education to thousands of local K-12 students through ArtReach, and through Legacy Workshops, ensuring that Appalachian traditions remain a living part of our youth’s future.

  • You Sustain a Legacy: Donations preserve our historic campus, Permanent Collection, and support our Artists-in-Residence program, providing early-career makers with the space and time to develop their craft and their voice.

Your Gift in Action

At Arrowmont, we believe that craft is essential. It restores focus, builds community, and empowers the individual. When you give, you aren’t just supporting a school, you are investing in the future of human craft and the people who practice it.
