Honoring and celebrating Appalachian art and culture

The Appalachian Cultural Center serves both Carson-Newman University and the broader community by working to foster and celebrate Appalachian culture. The mission is accomplished through the presentation of exhibits and programs for students and the larger community that are related to promoting the history and culture of the region; the preservation and appreciation of traditional and contemporary Appalachian arts, literature, and music; the promotion of academic research; and the development of environmental and community stewardship.
