    The Stecoah Valley Cultural Arts Center has its roots in the Stecoah Union School in Robbinsville, which first opened it's doors in 1916. The historic school property is now the heart of the center, and consists of the restored original main school building, and adjacent gymnasium building and grounds. The Center now offers over 20 programs each year to approximately 10,000 people, and brings music to the mountains through the summer performing arts series An Appalachian Evening, as well as the annual Mountain Music Championship, Folkmoot USA, Harvest Festival and other events. Additionally, the new Stecoah Artisans Gallery & Guild provides sales promotion and support for over 100 local and regional artists.
