Community Education

Penland sponsors several programs that make the school's resources available to the local community. The Teaching Artist Initiative provides art programs in the Mitchell County schools and helps artists develop their teaching skills. Summer art camps offer a variety of children's activities led by area artists. Each year, Penland's community open house welcomes hundreds of visitors into the studios for demonstrations and hands-on activities. The 2009 community open house will take place on Saturday, February 28.


More information about these programs will be added to this page as it becomes available.
