Abstract:

Now under construction along the Blue Ridge Parkway near Asheville, the Folk Art Center will offer a unique blend of educational and entertainment activities while preserving the traditional folk arts of mountain culture. Crafts will be a major focus of the center. Other folk arts, like storytelling, folk music, and dancing, will also be represented. When completed in 1979, the $2 million center will house a gift shop, library, museum, information center, craft and exhibit work area, and a 300-seat auditorium.
