The nicest arts and crafts store I have ever been in. The MAC Murphy Art Center gallery is HUGE and has hundreds of different items from glass art to wood, paintings, photography, digital art, all types of jewelry, pyrography, baskets, hand-painted eggs, Christmas ornaments, an amazing assortment of hand-created cards, crocheted and knitted items, quilts and scarves, dolls, pottery, wind-chimes... the list goes on and on! The gallery is run by the artisan crafters who belong to the Valley River Arts guild and the shop is open all day, 10am-5pm, and even on Sundays in the summer and fall. We did all of our Christmas shopping there and take all of our friends and out-of-town guests to see it. Definitely a must-see destination!!

5. Spirit Tall
Spirit Tall is a magical place built by Jo Kilmer, a woods woman, to provide others the opportunity a place reconnect and work with nature to create beautiful and functional pieces of art thru small hands hand workshops. Spirit Tall is a place to learn basic building skills along with an appreciation of nature. The gallery is also a place for visitors to be inspired and an opportunity to purchase a piece of rustic art from the Smoky Mountains.
