The Folk School has been a cornerstone of Appalachian culture for nearly a century.

But preserving this history and culture is not easy. It requires dedication, hard work, and resources. That's why we are asking for your help.

"One of the beauties of this residency," she said, "is that you feel encouraged to learn, invest, and percolate."

She added, " I had some ideas of what would happen when I got here, but I wasn’t fully sure. I think that’s also the power of it."

A few times each year, we reach out to our friends to support our efforts. Our goal this spring is to raise $52,000 to help us do our folk school job: encouraging lifelong growth through creative explorations and interpersonal connections.
