What’s Happening?

Arrowhead Gallery and Studios Committed to Rebuilding After Hurricane Helene Leaves a Path of Destruction in Old Fort!

Our thoughts are with all of western NC and we hope this finds your and yours safe after the storm.

On Friday, September 27th, Hurricane Helene brought much destruction to our small town and our beautiful gallery, studios, and classrooms were submerged in over 3 feet of water. Destroyed or damaged was the work of 52 gallery artists and artisans and most of the supplies, equipment, tools, and fixtures that supported our vibrant classes and workshops, glass studio, and newly outfitted clay studio.

We are committed to our mission now more than ever! Our goal is to begin operations, classes, and materials distribution in a new location just across the street as soon as we can, to provide our devastated artists and displaced artists in our region with some income and offer our community artistic opportunities that will be therapeutic in this time of destruction and rebuilding. Our immediate goals will be to prepare our new space for classes and studios. This will include building projects, purchasing and repairing equipment, tools and supplies. Please help us if you can.  

If you have questions, please contact us at galleryarrowheadart@gmail.com.
