Pick up a Piece of Art!
From completely functional to exceptionally funky (and everything in-between) art thrives in even the sleepiest mountain towns along the Parkway. Local art councils and visitor centers can direct you to galleries, shops, and studios. In addition to the Parkway’s Folk Art Center (Milepost 382), the Parkway Craft Center at Moses Cone Memorial (Milepost 294) and Heartwood in Abingdon, Virginia offer wonderful work from regional artists.
