Every year, Arrowmont brings together nationally and internationally recognized practicing artists and university faculty to teach over 160 diverse classes focusing on media, concepts, and techniques. These instructors and students come to our historic campus to share skills and ideas, foster new thinking, and participate in artistic growth and creative camaraderie.
Nestled in the Smoky Mountains for over 115 years, Arrowmont School of Arts and Crafts has been a place of education. The spirit of this heritage permeates the grounds, buildings, and even the mountain air. The early years were about general education in a settlement school setting; mountain handicrafts were soon added to the curriculum to preserve skills and provide vehicles of livelihood for area residents. During a period of revival in craft education, the signature summer workshop program was launched in 1945 and the school was opened to people from all over the United States who traveled to take art classes here. That workshop program has evolved into the extensive summer and fall National Workshop offerings in traditional and contemporary art and crafts.
Arrowmont presents an annual group exhibition to honor our instructors and showcase their talent. Their work epitomizes Arrowmont’s vision and mission – to enrich lives through art and craft.
