How to Join

Join Our Creative Community!

HCAC seeks to build partnerships that promote art and artists, explore new cultural opportunities, and preserve our mountain artistic heritage. Through memberships, not only are we able to support you and other local artists, but membership dues support the HCAC and its work throughout the year. Artist members are part of a unique creative community that comes together to share techniques, make lasting friendships, increase community participation in art, and much more.

Note: All artists must live in the Western North Carolina Mountain Region, which includes the following North Carolina counties highlighted on the map at the bottom of this page.
