In conjunction with the University of Tennessee Settlement School began giving summer craft workshops which were highly successful. These workshops developed into a year-round program of arts education. Today Arrowmont is an internationally known visual arts complex, boasting a renowned faculty and international student body. Programs Courses offered at Arrowmont include beginning, intermediate, and advanced ceramics, fiber, fabric, metal, enamel, wood, polymer clay, stone sculpture, painting, drawing, photography, paper and book arts. Elderhostel Workshops, national and regional conferences and night classes for community residents enrich the lives of many adults in addition to regular classes.
Children benefit from special workshops to augment public school art programs.
