Become a Sponsor
At the Lost River Educational Foundation, we believe in the power of heritage. With your support, we can keep traditional Appalachian arts and crafts alive—passing down time-honored skills and stories that connect us to our roots and to one another. Your support will help us engage the community in the artistic process and help us foster appreciation for the production and value of handmade objects through instruction, demonstration, and display.
The Lost River Educational Foundation is a 501(c)(3) charitable organization, and your donation may be tax-deductible.
