Arrowmont to Remain in Gatlinburg Future of the Nationally Recognized School Now Secure
From Arrowmont's most recent newsletter:
(Gatlinburg, Tenn.) 08/23/10 – In a historic decision, the Board of Governors of the Arrowmont School of
Arts and Crafts has voted to keep the nationally renowned center for contemporary craft education at its
current location in Gatlinburg, Tenn. Arrowmont offered its first craft workshops in 1945.
Over the past two years the organization has been considering options for the future following a decision
by the owners of the land to sell the property currently occupied by the school. A special task force was
formed to evaluate options and possible new locations for the school and through their work the choices
were narrowed to a site in Greeneville, Tenn. or remaining in the current Gatlinburg location. Since then,
the Arrowmont Board has been working with officials from Gatlinburg and Greeneville to finalize
proposals presented by both communities.
In making the announcement, Arrowmont Board of Governors President Mary Ann Hruska said, “After
reviewing the proposals from Greeneville and Gatlinburg as well as numerous meetings with local officials,
the Board decided that Arrowmont should remain in its place of founding. We look forward to working
more closely with the local community regarding our future.”
The Gatlinburg community effort to retain Arrowmont was led by former Mayor Jerry Hays and City Manager,
Cindy Ogle.
"I am extremely pleased with this decision to keep Arrowmont in Gatlinburg. I want to especially thank
the Gatlinburg Arrowmont Work Group for their dedication during this process. A lot of hard work has
gone into preparing for this day by representatives of the City, Sevier County, Sevier County School
System, the Chamber of Commerce, and private citizens. From here, it is my hope that we can sit down
together and map out how we will achieve the goals and dreams for Arrowmont’s future," states Jerry
Hays.
Arrowmont’s Strategic Planning Committee, along with the Gatlinburg Work Group, will immediately
begin determining next steps including the orchestration of a capital campaign for funds to support the
School’s future and exploring community partnership opportunities. The School’s on-going fundraising
continues through the Friends of Arrowmont Fund. You may join by visiting our website or by calling 865-
436-5860.
“This decision ensures that the Arrowmont School of Arts and Crafts will continue to be a leader in
contemporary studio craft for many years to come,” said Hruska, adding, “Arrowmont provides the best
in craft education in new and exciting ways while furthering our mission of enriching lives through art.”

Gatlinburg Restaurants and other Smoky Mountain Restaurnats
This is Adam again with some of my favorite restaurants in our area. Some of these are local secrets so?shhhh! I have broken these eateries down by city so that while you are in town you can stay close to your accommodations. In Sevierville for breakfast I recommend: The Applewood Farmhouse also good for lunch and dinner), for lunch Firehouse Subs is unbeatable if you like steamed sandwiches, and last but not least Mountain Edge Grill. For dinner there are several options; Longhorn steakhouse, The Chop house, and El Paso. Stop by The Marble Slab for unbeatable ice cream. If you are staying in Pigeon Forge stop by the Old Mill Restaurant for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. The Pottery House Restaurant is unbeatable and has a unique menu for lunch. There are several choices for dinner. Bullfish Grill has wonderful steaks and seafood. Mamas Farmhouse is a great place for country cookin', but go hungry! The Smoky Mountain Brewery has a neat environment and excellent brewed beer unique to the restaurant. Calhouns is the best if you are in the mood for ribs! In my opinion Gatlinburg has the best selection for food. I have a couple of breakfast favorites. First, the Pancake Pantry is AWESOME!!! You must stop by and try their pigs in a blanket. Just behind in the Pancake Pantry in The Village is a place called the Donut Friar. They offer all varieties of donuts and you just cant beat the place, eat your heart out Krispy Kreme!! Also, there is a place called the Mountain Lodge located on Hwy. 321. They offer breakfast and lunch and you cant go wrong with anything on their menu. I recommend Parton?s Deli for lunch. They offer wonderful steamed subs. There are so many choices for dinner that I am going to list them. 1.The Peddler 2.Linebergers Seafood 3.Greenbriar Restaurant 4.Bubba Gump Shrimp 5.Best Italian 6.Cherokee Grill 7. The Park Grill.
