Since 1972, the Art League of Henderson County has been dedicated to enriching our community through education, exhibition, and outreach that celebrate the transformative power of the visual arts in Western North Carolina.
We provide access to the visual arts for our community and its visitors, grounded in the belief that art is essential to a thriving and connected society. The visual arts are more than a form of expression,they are a catalyst for cultural enrichment, economic vitality, and community pride. Through our programs and spaces, we aim to weave the arts into the very fabric of Henderson County, fostering a deeper sense of identity and supporting a vibrant creative economy.
