WE LOVE OUR
CREATIVE COMMUNITY
Our origins are in community storytelling and from the start, the mission of Clutch Collective has been to celebrate local culture, creativity, and community in our corner of Appalachia. Here you’ll find more than just updates from our shop - you’ll find stories about public art installations, local artists, creative organizations, and local small businesses that contribute to our creative economy. We are active participants in our local and regional art scene and we love to shine a light on the growing artistic movement we are witnessing in our community.
