Established in 1971 in Abingdon, Virginia, Holston Mountain Artisans preserves and promotes the finest traditional and contemporary arts and crafts of our Appalachian region.

Our non-profit, member-owned cooperative is comprised of over 100 artisans living primarily in Southwest Virginia and East Tennessee. We place an emphasis on helping artists who need a sales outlet for their handwork and providing educational opportunities in order to preserve our creative heritage.

​In addition to our craft shop, we provide space for artisans to gather and offer classes, ensuring that these traditions will continue.
