Founded in 1991, we are Warren Wilson College’s educational program of summer folk arts workshops held on our campus in the Swannanoa Valley near Asheville in the heart of North Carolina’s beautiful Blue Ridge Mountains.
Each year, we offer a variety of week-long programs in various forms of folk music and dance over a five-week period in July and August, taught by some of the finest folk artists and instructors in the world.
We invite you to join us.
Post-Helene Update
We want to thank our SG
family for the outpouring
of concern for the safety and
well-being of our community.
We want to reassure you that
all Warren Wilson College
staff and students are safe.
The college did experience
damage as a result of the
storm, but restorative efforts
are well underway. Our
beautifully restored
campus will be ready to
go in time for next summer’s 34th
Swannanoa Gathering!
Want to Help?
Gathering founder Doug
Orr is spearheading a
new Swannanoa Gathering
Legacy Endowment.
Any contribution is
deeply appreciated.
