TESTIMONIALS

  • Kristen Gillem

    Cindy, Kathy, and art teachers: Thank you for sharing the love of art. Thank you for helping our family heal. My kids have been able to process [Hurricane Helene] and move forward because of your programs. Thank you so much for all you do for our community.

  • Debra Swantek

    Last fall I relocated to Brevard to be in the mountains and part of an art community. I quickly became a member of the Transylvania Arts Council and entered 3 paintings in their recent show For the Birds. The Executive Director, Gallery Manager, volunteers, and artists have all been welcoming, encouraging, and eager to share information about the council and art opportunities in the community. The gallery space is beautiful and is open Tues. Sat. The For the Birds art reception was well attended, with 150 patrons and artists coming out to show support. I will continue to support this professional organization and am thankful for the opportunity to show my work.

  • Rachel Smith

    A lovely building with amazing local art on display (and for sale). This is a must visit while in Brevard. The curators are a pleasure to speak with and very helpful.
    Downstairs there’s a large learning space for adults and teens. Space for pottery making too.

  • Sylvia Hartman

    This place is awesome. Children's art work displayed nicely. I would go there to have them teach me to paint. Definitely going back again when in the area.

  • John D. Adams

    A tremendously vibrant organization! A real heart of the community!
