Mountain Arts District Sponsors

Mountain Arts District is a directory and news hub for artists, venues, shops, and events in the West Virginia Highlands. Sponsoring MAD helps keep that directory free for the makers, galleries, and performance venues that call the region home.

Beyond these sponsors, MAD works alongside arts organizations across the region — including Augusta Heritage Center, The Arts Center Elkins WV, Randolph Arts, and Pocahontas County Arts Council Inc. — and shares the work of featured artists such as Seth Thomas, Marjory Moses, Scottie Roberts Wiest, Don Hall, and the Mill Whistle Art Co-op in Richwood.

Mountain Arts District is a directory and news hub for artists, venues, shops, and events in the West Virginia Highlands, connecting visitors with the makers, galleries, and performance spaces that define the region. Sponsoring MAD helps keep that directory free for the potters, painters, weavers, musicians, and storytellers who call the Highlands home, and keeps listings like studios, studios and small shops discoverable by travelers looking for genuine local work.

Support comes from a range of organizations and businesses, including regional tourism bureaus that help visitors find arts listings and visitor information, plus local businesses and community groups committed to the cultural life of Elkins and surrounding Randolph County. Sponsorship is presented as a way to join a growing network that values fine crafts, handmade instruments, decorative and functional pottery, basketry, broom making, stained glass, and mixed media work.

Businesses and organizations interested in becoming sponsors are encouraged to reach out and learn how to participate. Beyond financial support, sponsorship helps fund the directory, featured artist profiles, news and event coverage, and the ongoing promotion of performances, exhibitions, and workshops across the Mountain Arts District, so that the region's arts, music, crafts, shops, and venues continue to be explored and shared with a wider audience each season.
