Making the ARTS a Presence in Our Community
Enriching the High Country with the Arts
The Watauga Arts Council seeks to bring Art to the forefront of the High Country through advocacy, education, engagement, support, and inspiration. We are dedicated to enriching the lives of residents and visitors alike. The High Country is a naturally beautiful place that inspires creative people from near and far. Let us celebrate the arts and invite it into our every day lives in a meaningful way.
We are turning a page as an organization. We are reaching out in new ways and hope to engage the community with more intention. We seek to serve by working with local leaders, businesses, nonprofits, arts organizations, and artists to engrain the arts into the fiber of our community. Join us on our journey!
