In recent years, the University moved its fine and applied arts studies to the historic town of Cumberland Gap, just a short bike or car ride from Harrogate. Here students may study and practice pottery, wood-working and three dimensional art in the Arts Center. Student artwork is displayed in the storefront gallery which is open to the public. Additionally, the University hosts a series of community events as a celebration of the fine, applied and visionary arts. Any artist – beginner or advanced – is appreciated, encouraged and challenged. Arts in the Gap has become an annual destination for passionate and aspiring artists.
