The Haywood Handmade Gallery is the heart and soul of the Haywood County Arts Council, nestled in downtown Waynesville. It’s more than just a gallery—it’s a space that nurtures creativity, connects artists with the community, and inspires all who walk through our doors. We showcase seven themed exhibits each year, offering something new and exciting all the time.
Through the Spotlight Artist Sponsorship, you can help keep this space alive for a whole month, fueling the gallery’s day-to-day operations. If you’re looking for a deeper connection, the Featured Artist Sponsorship gives you the chance to support the gallery for an entire year, making a lasting impact on the future of art in the community. Both sponsorships are an opportunity to be part of something special, helping to maintain a place where creativity thrives and artists are truly celebrated!
