Pentaculum offers an intimate atmosphere for personal artistic growth and the opportunity to strengthen and build meaningful relationships within the arts and crafts field. Participants experience a retreat at Arrowmont to invigorate their studio practice and deepen their connections to the craft community. Held annually in early January and mid-May, working artists in ceramics, fibers, metals, 2D, wood & sculpture, and writing spend a week at Arrowmont to work on independent projects.
This Spring 2026 Pentaculum Coordinators include:
Cat Bates, Reagan Furqueron, J. Leigh Garcia, Rachael Griffin, DeJeonge Reese, Malcolm Mobutu Smith
