Our Mission
The purpose of Cowee School Arts & Heritage Center is to promote the teaching and preservation of the cultural and artistic heritage of the Southern Appalachians and Cherokee people and to serve as a community resource and gathering place.
We achieve our mission through enriching programs meant to teach, entertain and inspire. We host festivals, a Summer Concert Series, a cultural Speaker Series, Makers Series and art & dance classes. We serve our community through outreach programs like Fourth Grader Day, a weekly Farmer’s Market, Community Garden, commissary kitchen and facility space.
