Your contributions make it possible for the Watauga Arts Council, a volunteer-driven and donor-supported nonprofit, to advocate, educate, engage, and inspire Art within our community. We have a renewed focus to unite the community around the Arts. We are building vital relationships with community leaders, artists and arts organizations in order to strengthen the artist community in the High Country. We can't do this alone! Your support will help the arts in Watauga County to thrive!
The Cherry Johnson Legacy Fund was created in honor of our former Executive Director. Cherry retired after 28 years of service on August 1st, 2020. All funds donated here will go toward our building fund.
