Founded in 1991, we are Warren
Wilson College's continuing education program of summer folk arts workshops held on
our campus in the Swannanoa Valley near Asheville in the heart of North Carolina's
beautiful Blue Ridge Mountains. Our programs also feature public
concerts.
In addition to our summer programs, each spring we sponsor the Celtic Series
of Mainstage Concerts at the Diana
Wortham Theatre in Asheville's arts & education center,
Pack Place, featuring some of the world's finest Celtic musicians.
