Upcoming Events
Start Your Next Hobby
Creativity looks different for everyone, and so do our events. Some are simple ways to step in and explore, others offer a deeper creative experience. We invite you to look through what’s ahead and choose what feels right for you.
White Squirrel Festival
Join us during the White Squirrel Festival as Brevard comes alive with music, art, and community. We’ll be offering creative ways to engage, explore, and enjoy the space throughout the weekend. Stop by and see what’s happening.
FIRST FRIDAYS GALLERY EVENT
First Fridays at Brevard Clay
Each First Friday, we stay open late as part of Brevard’s monthly Gallery Walk—inviting the community to step inside, slow down, and experience the studio in a more open, exploratory way.
This is a time to connect with the creative energy of the space—whether that means watching pottery being made, trying your hand at clay, or simply enjoying the atmosphere. Each month offers something a little different, but the heart of it remains the same: a welcoming place to play, create, and belong.
Explore the gallery, meet local artists, and enjoy a rotating lineup of creative experiences while we stay open late!
