Haywood Handmade Gallery's "Go with the Flow" exhibit celebrates the beauty, power, and importance of Haywood County’s waterways. In partnership with Haywood Waterways, this exhibition invites artists to create works inspired by rivers, streams, and other bodies of water—both literally and metaphorically. From flowing currents to reflections on life’s journeys, the show highlights how waterways inspire creativity while raising awareness of the need to protect and conserve our local watershed. Pictured work is by Peter Brown.

Coffee Cup & Canvas is a relaxed daytime painting event held once a month at Panacea Coffeehouse in Waynesville, North Carolina. Designed as a calm and cozy creative break, this event is perfect for anyone looking for meaningful things to do in Waynesville during the day. Each session offers step-by-step instruction––no prior painting experience is needed. Every event features a different painting. All painting supplies are included, including canvas, easel, paint, and brushes. Coffee and food are available for purchase directly from Panacea Coffee House.

It’s the most wonderful time of the year! Haywood Handmade Gallery's annual, community-favorite Small Works exhibit celebrates creativity in a compact form. Featuring artwork 12×12 inches or smaller, as well as handcrafted ornaments, this show is perfect for gift-giving or adding a little joy to your own collection. Celebrate the season and discover the big impact of small art! Pictured work is by Jen Picicci.
