project statement...
The project calls for transforming a
184,000-square-foot, 1950s textile mill into an arts
and crafts incubation center for artists,
craftspeople, and crafts-related businesses. The
original two-story brick building served as various
schools from the 1800s to the 1950s when the Russell
family bought the property and began adding buildings
for textile manufacturing. Program requirements
include a gallery, outdoor entertainment pavilion,
indoor performing arts center, classroom spaces, a
restaurant, business offices, and arts and crafts
studios, some as large as 1500-square-feet. The owners
hope the facility will encourage artists and
craftspeople to remain in the community, which is part
of the seven-county Yadkin-Pee Dee Lake Project.
