About The Toe River Arts

The Toe River Arts is governed by a Tri- county board.  The new Burnsville exhibition space will be located in the former library building on the corner of the Burnsville town square and South Main Street. A Burnsville gallery is now open on west Main Street across from the Visitor Center.  The Spruce Pine Gallery also offers a gift shop and larger exhibition space. Exhibitions are educational, entertaining, of the highest quality, and represent artists and crafts persons in both traditional and contemporary work. Our gift shop participants, rigorously juried once a year, represent the artistic talent from Avery, Mitchell, and Yancey Counties. Our newest space is the Arts Resource Center located above the Spruce Pine Gallery. In the coming year, it will host entrepreneurial workshops for artists, process-driven craft classes, theatre and musical performances and serve as a resource for the multitude of craft-related groups in the two county region.
