"The beautiful locations for workshops are an incredible inspiration. Once I arrive it feels like a home where I am nurtured and fed while I develop my art. I never want to leave.”
Learn
“When I discovered Cullowhee Mountain ARTS offers workshops in the mountains, near Asheville, NC, Taos, NM, New Zealand and the Coast of Maryland, I decided to treat myself to a workshop-retreat while learning more about my art. How could I go wrong?”

“It is heaven on earth to be supported on every level to do my creative work without unwanted interruptions. The teacher and the other artists and writers were like my personal cheering team, providing me with enormous energy.”
Collaborate
"When I saw the list of topics and teachers for the workshops, I wanted to take all of them. Then I realized no matter what I came for, I would be among a group of dedicated artists and writers like me coming to learn from stellar instructors.”
