Art is Everywhere

Garden gates, benches, murals… you will be inspired by the work of fellow students across campus. Turn a corner and you never know what you’ll encounter.

A View Worth Painting

Artists from across the state come to our campus to paint and photograph it. Our valley presents one of the most compelling landscapes in the South, and you’ll find that campus is a centering and powerful component of being a student.

Entrepreneurship

Sell your art in campus art sales, in the general store, or off campus at one of the many galleries and festivals in Asheville. Your opportunities to practice entrepreneurship as a student at Warren Wilson are endless.

Music Surrounds Us

Music surrounds us on campus. Faculty, staff and students can often be found outside of Gladfelter Cafeteria participating in old-time music jam sessions. Student concerts and open-mic nights can be found weekly across campus.

We’re home to The Swannanoa Gathering, which offers an educational program of summer folk arts workshops. The College also hosts Chamber Music Society — an annual offering of weekend concerts over the summer.

In April, the Fiddles and Folklife Festival features an old-time music contest for fiddle, banjo and string band, as well as music jams, food and craft vendors, folklife demonstrators and cakewalks.
