Arts and Crafts
​Jackson County Artists
Jackson County boasts a long history of artists of diverse genres. One can find brilliant imagination in works of 2-dimensional and 3-dimensional design, as well as the literary efforts of essayists, novelists, and poets. Jackson County has produced painters, sculptures, woodworkers, metalworkers, photographers, and artists of unique and unexpected mediums. Many artists draw inspiration from their experience in rural Appalachia. Some of the most moving and ingenious art is produced by artists who remain virtually unknown and unrecognized in these wooded hills.
