The Journey
Welcome to Toe River Arts
Hugging the curves of the mountains of Western North Carolina is Toe River Arts, one of the most significant concentrations of artists in the nation. Here you will find the journey of the arts and the art of the journey inextricably intertwined, celebrating the seekers and the finders.
THE ARTISTS
All artists are wanderers. Searching for inspiration. Pushing boundaries. And all lovers of art are seekers. Searching for the perfect piece or performance or prose. For all, art—making it, pursuing it and understanding it—is the road, the destination and the journey.
THE EVENTS
Come to the mountains and share in the magic of the June Studio Tour, June 1-3 in Mitchell and Yancey counties. Over 80 artists open their studios to the public and offer up welcome and an abundance of fine art and crafts for any individual on a journey of the arts.
THE STORIES
Glass blower, John Geci, and Ceramist, Courtney Martin, carve out their little piece of the mountainside off Snow Creek in Bakersville.
