North Carolina art galleries, artists
and indigenous NC mountain crafts are, like the mountains
themselves, a true natural resource. From the centuries-old
functionality of a split oak
basket to a whimsical mixed media from Penland School
of Crafts, the quality and
variety of arts and crafts of Western Carolina is among the best
in the country. NC mountain art offers a variety of
media including pottery, basketry, wood working,
painting, sculpture, weaving, collage, mixed media and more.
When you take home something from an NC art gallery or artist,
you take home a little piece of the mountains.
