Specialties

Pocosin Arts is dedicated to nurturing creativity through arts education. Located a few steps from the banks of the Scuppernong River we are surrounded by water, wildlife and the natural beauty of Pocosin Lakes National Wildlife Refuge, making it an ideal place to leave your daily routine behind and immerse yourself in one of our creative workshops. We offer evening, weekend, one-day and one-week workshops in metals, clay, photography, drawing, painting, textiles and others. Now in its 14th year, each February we host our 4-day retreat, Cabin Fever Reliever, bringing artists from all over the country to teach workshops in all media. Pocosin Arts also offers artist residencies that are tailored to the needs of individual artist.
