Our Venues and Programs:
ARITIST WORKSHOPS:
- The Summer Arts Workshop Series is a three-week annual event with 12 visual art workshops taught by artist-instructors of national/international reputations. Held on the beautiful campus of Western Carolina University, in the Blue Ridge mountains, our Summer Arts Workshop Series attracts artists from all points in the US and abroad. During each week-long immersion participants learn new concepts and techniques, share thoughts and ideas, and enjoy artist presentations, museum talks at the Fine Art Museum, and after-hours studio time. Participants find a like-minded community of passionate learners and can focus entirely on developing new work where their daily concerns are left behind.
- The workshops at the Clancy Building Studio are in the charming and historic downtown of Snow Hill on the eastern shore of Maryland. The lovely Pocomoke River runs through the town and the Assateague Bay is a 5-minute drive from downtown. Enjoy the same level of workshop artist/instructors in this lovely destination that feels set back in time. Workshops begin with an opening reception and artist presentation followed by a group dinner and end with a gathering to re-cap and think forward."
WORKSHOP + RETREATS:
At Cullowhee Mountain Arts we know the immense benefit of finding time to be in a nurturing environment - one where no expectations are placed upon you and you have unfettered time to create, learn, and explore new environments. We have created what we call “whole artist” experiences Workshop + Retreat hosted annually in two geographically gorgeous locations: Lake Logan Conference Center, just outside the town of Canton, North Carolina (in the Blue Ridge Mountains of North Carolina) and The Mabel Dodge Luhan House, Taos, New Mexico (in the northern mountains of New Mexico).
