Appalshop’s mission is to enlist the power of art to document, interpret and revitalize the traditions and contemporary creativity of Appalachia; to tell stories the commercial cultural industries don’t, challenging stereotypes with Appalachian visions and voices, to support communities’ efforts to achieve justice and equity; to promote cultural diversity, pluralism and human rights as positive social values, and to participate in regional, national and global movements towards these ends. This grant provides general operating support.
