HISTORIC PUBLIC ART
"Planting seeds of heritage through the arts," CSA's mission, becomes quite clear through the public art that has been created by co-founder, Doreyl Ammons Cain and supported by the CSA Board of Directors. Currently, there are five public art creations and more are planned. Also up and running is a Appalachian Mural Trail for WNC.
