The Gatlinburg Arts and Crafts Community is a scenic 8-mile loop that winds through the foothills of the Great Smoky Mountains. Here, over 100 artists and craftspeople open their studios to visitors, demonstrating traditional skills like glassblowing, pottery, woodcarving, and blacksmithing. You can browse galleries filled with original paintings, handwoven textiles, and custom jewelry, all while enjoying the mountain setting. It's a living, working community where you can purchase one-of-a-kind souvenirs directly from the makers.
