How to Join

Become Part of a Unique Creative Community

HCAC seeks to build partnerships that promote art and artists, explores new cultural opportunities, and preserves 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 come 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.
