Staying at Arrowmont

We recommend students stay on-campus to take full advantage of the retreat-like setting of campus, and to fully immerse themselves in their educational art experience. Our four residential options offer students a wide range of accommodations to choose from, including single, double, triple and dormitory style rooms. Meet students, participate in after-hours events and just enjoy your time at Arrowmont.

Testimonials

I am really thankful for Arrowmont existing and the community it fosters for all. I truly feel like the experiences I have had here have helped me grow as an artist immensely, not to mention an unforgettable sense of belonging, creativity, and a brief home away from home!

– Stephanie

I loved the housing accommodations and the marks of craftsmanship in the beautiful headboard and nightstand. Common areas were very comfortable as well.

– Charity

What a gem we have in ARROWMONT! I love this place and I’m sure I will be back.

– Patty

Always enjoy the Arrowmont experience…the classes, getting to know the other students, the evening programs and living on campus.

Dining at Arrowmont

Mealtime at Arrowmont is about more than just full bellies, our Dining Hall is a place of community, conversation and laughter. There is always a friendly face and healthy meal waiting to greet you. Meals are served by staff in a buffet-style, with vegetarian and meat options available at every meal.

We do our best to accommodate dietary restrictions, and students have the opportunity to select restrictions on the registration form. We strive to provide all guests with the information necessary to make informed dining decisions. While we make every effort to prevent cross-contamination in our kitchen, we cannot guarantee that any dish is 100% free of gluten or other allergens. 

Testimonials

Healthy meals with lots of options served daily with access to coffee and tea and lemonade most of the day was an experience that has completely spoiled me. How am I supposed to go home and eat what I cook now? The staff was so cool and friendly every single day

– Michal

Truly wonderful. Very home-y feel and I felt loved. Good food makes me make good art.

– Faith

’Meal Service’ sounds very simple and plain to describe the hospitality received this week. Every meal, every day, was a 10/10.
