Alleghany Highlands Arts and Crafts Center Inc

Who we are & what we do
"Promoting visual arts through education, exhibitions, and marketing! " 

  We heavily rely on the support of the Alleghany County community and could not do what we do without you! We are so thankful for the 10,000 visitors of all ages who come to experience a wide variety of exhibits & classes at the Center annually. 

One of the main ways we are supported is through memberships. We have some incredible members from all over who've been supporting us for years.  Become a member. For just $20

you can become a member or $30 for a family membership annually.   

Becoming a member has benefits too:

* Knowledge that you are financially helping to make the AHACC the continued success it has been for 40 years!

*  By providing your email address you will be privy to information on special events, all classes and workshops, along with the opportunity for advance registration.

* Membership Card which you will receive in the mail to receive 10% discount on purchased items from the Center and Gallery.

  An Urgent Need

Crucial repairs to our HVAC system has become a priority.  The current system has been in operation for over 20 years and has started to exhibit frequent breakdowns. We have been replacing parts as they failed to help the system last as long as possible.  This past summer, the HVAC system began having serious problems.  We are kindly requesting your assistance in funding for this matter.  A new chiller will cost us $84,500, so you can see how this is a critical priority.  If 100 donors give $771 each, this will cover the cost to repair our HVAC.  If you are able to give to this fund or any part of this fundraising event, we are so grateful!

Your $20/$30 will help AHACC to provide class scholarships, and continue to offer FREE high quality exhibits in the Gallery.  

Also, if you so choose to support AHACC with as much as $500, we would like to send you this cookbook "Best Friends, Best Food and Best Bridge" as a thank you.

Yet another way to support AHACC is to become a volunteer!

This year we turned 40!  Here is a video celebrating our Birthday:  Happy Birthday AHACC!

Every 4-6 weeks new exhibits are installed in the Gallery.  These FREE exhibitions are made possible through the support of  contributions from people like you!  Below is a video of the 53rd Annual Fall Festival Exhibit:  

 The Shop presents the sale of excellent handmade juried artwork from 280 artists. This helps to support regional artists in their artistic endeavors.  Please enjoy a video below of one of our artists talking about is work:
