appalachian arts gallery & Community craft center

Appalachian Arts began as the Community Craft Center in 1970 in the back room of an old grocery store that once sat across the street from where the shop and center are now located.

The members of the Appalachian Arts Crafts Shop include midlevel craftspersons as well as accomplished artists.  Some of the artists also belong to the Southern Highlands Craft Guild, the Foothills Craft Guild, and the Tennessee Association of Craft Artists.

The gallery is described as "unpretentious, and the artists aren’t afraid to say the word 'bargain' out loud”.  Traditional crafts are still produced at the center, but the shop doesn’t limit itself to hand-carved spoons and hand-loomed hearthrugs.  The locally produced work offered at the shop includes photography and Japanese origami. Work for sale at the center includes pottery, weaving, quilts, baskets, woodcarving, stained glass, jewelry, quilling, homemade soaps, dolls, toys, and more.  Prices begin at just a few dollars and top out at around $450.

Hours: Mon-Sat 10-6; Sun 1-5.
