in Santa Cruz, California

You are invited to join Arrowmont Board Member Debby Rice and other friends of Arrowmont for Road Rally II on October 14th!

October 14, 2018 | Los Gatos Lodge
Start Time: 11am
Length: Approximately 4 hours/90+ miles through the beautiful Santa Cruz Mountains
To sign up, visit www.arrowmont.org/roadrally

Participants and cars of all ages welcome!

Have a fun-filled day and help an historic arts and crafts school. Bring your car, any vintage, any model, your friends and family for an exciting 80-mile jaunt through the beautiful Santa Cruz Mountains.

More than a timed event—the Santa Cruz Mountain Road Rally offers a complete experience. Breakfast snacks and coffee at the start, detailed route instructions, a scavenger hunt, road sign reading, games of chance (poker, blackjack), a plaque for your car, and fun stops along the way are all included in the registration fee of $100 per car. At the end of the Rally Route, there will be a moonshine saloon with substantial and delicious food and beverages including classic East Tennessee moonshine.

All participants will receive driving instructions at the start of the Rally—then it is up to you to follow the instructions, participate, and collect scavenger hunt items from fun stops along the way.

Proceeds from the Rally benefit Arrowmont School of Arts and Crafts located in another historic mountain range—the Great Smoky Mountains of East Tennessee. In November 2016, a devastating wildfire destroyed three buildings on the 106-year old campus. The funds raised will go to help re-build and re-landscape the campus.

Prizes will be given in a variety of categories including but not limited to: oldest car, car with most people, car with most scavenger hunt items, first car over the finish line, and many more.

For more information or to discuss alternative payment arrangements, please call or email the event organizer, Debby Rice, 408.354.1776, debby@debbyrice.com

Sponsor: Ole Smoky Moonshine

Ole Smoky is the leading distiller of premium moonshine in the U.S. and the first federally licensed distillery in the history of East Tennessee. The company’s roots can be traced back over one hundred years to the early settlers of the Smoky Mountains.

Gatlinburg Golf Course

Enjoy a day of golf, fun, food and cash prizes at Arrowmont’s Mountain Strong: 8th Annual Golf Tournament – Saturday, October 27, 2018.

Benefiting Arrowmont’s educational programs, the golf tournament supports Sevier County art programs including adult and children’s community classes, local resident scholarships and ArtReach.

This year the Tournament will be honoring 2 of our fine City Commissioners that have passed away since last year’s tournament, Michael Helton and Jerry Hays.  Both were hugely instrumental in making sure Arrowmont School of Arts and Crafts would be an important part of Gatlinburg and Sevier County in the future.  They are both sorely missed.

New prizes just added:

During his professional golf career, Jack Nicklaus, won 6 Masters Tournaments, 5 PGA Championships, 4
U.S. Open titles and 3 British Opens for a record 18 major championships. The top 4 ranked teams will win special gifts signed by Jack Nicklaus especially for this golf tournament.

Contact Fran Day by email at fday@arrowmont.org or call 865-436-5860 x32 for more information. Sponsorships are available.

The Sevier County Biennial Exhibition is a juried, mixed media art exhibition presented by Arrowmont to recognize and foster the skills and talents of artists and craftspeople who call the region of Sevier County home.  Juror Sarah Stanley will select the work and awards for this year’s exhibit.

Sarah Stanley is the Curator at the William King Museum of Art in Abingdon, VA where she oversees exhibitions of regional decorative arts, fine art, and craft. Sarah holds an MA from Bard Graduate Center (New York, NY) in Decorative Art, Design History, and Material Culture and a BA in Art History from The College of William & Mary (Williamsburg, VA). Prior to getting her Master’s degree, Sarah worked as an apprentice weaver at Colonial Williamsburg. This experience emphasized the importance of hands-on learning and solidified her interest in craft history and contemporary craft.
