The Stecoah Valley Artisans Gallery offers a unique opportunity to buy original artwork as well as the fine crafts that have made North Carolina famous. There is a wide variety of traditional and contemporary works: paintings, pottery, weaving, wood-turned items, glass works, photography, note cards, jewelry, soaps, quilts, books and much more.
     Also featured are many talented Cherokee Indian artists whose beadwork, pottery, masks and other artworks are produced today in the traditional ways of their ancestors.
     The Gallery showcases the work of the 60-plus members of the Stecoah Artisans Guild, a juried membership organization, as well as the Associate Artists of the Guild. A majority of the artisans are self-taught, while some are academically trained. Your purchases help support both the artists and the Stecoah Valley Center.
     The collaboration of the Gallery and the Artisans Guild is an important step in preserving mountain crafts and providing an environment that will strengthen and sustain the arts community.
     Additionally, the Artisans Guild hosts two Drive-About Studio Tours annually in June and November, as well as a Silent Auction that benefits the Center.
     The Gallery also serves as an Area Visitors Center with brochures and maps for local lodging, restaurants, and attractions.
