Describe the Organization's Program Activity:
Part 3 - Line 4a
IN 2012, THE HISTORIC CAMPUS OF THE ARROWMONT SCHOOL OF ARTS AND CRAFTS MARKED ITS 100TH YEAR AS A PLACE OF EDUCATION. THE SPIRIT OF THIS HERITAGE PERMEATES THE GROUNDS, BUILDINGS AND EVEN THE MOUNTAIN AIR. THE EARLY YEARS WERE ABOUT GENERAL EDUCATION IN A SETTLEMENT SCHOOL SETTING, BUT CURRICULUM WAS SOON ADDED IN MOUNTAIN HANDICRAFTS TO PRESERVE SKILLS AND PROVIDE VEHICLES OF LIVELIHOOD FOR AREA RESIDENTS. IN 1945, THE SIGNATURE SUMMER WORKSHOP PROGRAM WAS LAUNCHED DURING A PERIOD OF REVIVAL IN CRAFT EDUCATION AND THE SCHOOL WAS OPENED TO PEOPLE FROM ALL OVER THE UNITED STATES WHO TRAVELED TO TAKE ART CLASSES IN THE BEAUTIFUL GREAT SMOKY MOUNTAINS. SEVENTY-SEVEN YEARS LATER, THAT WORKSHOP PROGRAM HAS EVOLVED INTO THE EXTENSIVE YEAR ROUND COURSE OFFERINGS OF MORE THAN 140 CLASSES IN CONTEMPORARY ART AND CRAFTS.IN A TIME WHEN MANY ARE SEEKING FRESH WAYS OF PROBLEM-SOLVING, SEEING DIFFERENTLY AND COMMUNICATING EFFECTIVELY, ARROWMONT OFFERS AN OPPORTUNITY FOR PEOPLE OF ALL SKILL LEVELS TO SPEND A FEW HOURS A DAY, A WEEKEND, A WEEK OR TWO WEEKS IMMERSED IN ART-MAKING, EXPERIMENTING, LEARNING NEW TECHNIQUES, EXPLORING A VARIETY OF MEDIA AND FORMS OF EXPRESSION OR SIMPLY TAKING TIME TO BE FULLY FOCUSED AND PRESENT IN A CREATIVE MANNER WITHOUT THE DISTRACTIONS OF DAILY LIFE. FOR SOME, IT IS THE OPPORTUNITY TO STUDY WITH LEADING, NATIONALLY RECOGNIZED ARTISTS WHO TRAVEL TO THE CAMPUS TO TEACH SPECIFIC WORKSHOPS AND SERVE AS THE SCHOOL'S FOUNDATION IN ENSURING THE HIGHEST QUALITY OF INNOVATIVE INSTRUCTION. FOR OTHERS, IT IS THE EXCEPTIONAL, WELL-EQUIPPED STUDIOS WHERE STUDENTS CAN WORK SAFELY AND CONFIDENTLY IN A PROFESSIONAL-LEVEL ENVIRONMENT. FOR MANY, IT IS THE DAILY ENGAGEMENT AMONG A DIVERSE GROUP OF PEOPLE FROM DIFFERENT BACKGROUNDS, COMING TOGETHER TO LEARN AND WORK IN A SUPPORTIVE, CREATIVE ENVIRONMENT.ARROWMONT OFFERS CLASSES, WORKSHOPS, CONFERENCES AND OTHER PROGRAMS TO FURTHER STUDENT EDUCATION AND PROMOTE EXCELLENCE IN THE ARTS.
