New River Arts & Crafts
New River Arts & Crafts is a unique online community that changes with the seasons to reflect the handmade creative talents of artisans and growers of the N.C. mountains. Our purpose is to support, preserve and celebrate the authentic mountain culture, art and heritage of the New River Valley area. Inside this web site, you'll meet the creators and the growers - the producers - who craft and grow the wonderful products from the northwestern corner of North Carolina. It won't take you long to learn that each product is unique and has a character of its own; none of these items were mass produced by machinery or factories - they were made by humble craftsmen who have been blessed with tremendous creative talent. Therefore, we proudly say... each product offered for sale was either made by hand or was grown or raised in our neck of the woods. This web site is made possible by the generous funding and support of the Northwest Alliance Program for the Rural Carolinas and the Duke Endowment, the Rural Advancement Foundation International and the Tobacco Communities Reinvestment Fund, the North Carolina Rural Economic Development Center, and the US Department of Agriculture Sustainable Agriculture Research and Education Program for the Southern Region.
