Please contact us for scheduling classes and tours of our facility.
We are committed to using renewable, clean energy to fuel our studios.
Our studios are located on an old town landfill in Dillsboro, North Carolina. We capture the methane gas from this landfill and use it to fuel our glass, metal, and ceramics studios.
We are proud to showcase our artists.
We host a variety of artists who use our facilities to create their work. Although our studios are open to traveling artists, most of them are full-time working artists who live, work and teach in the Western NC area.
We believe that education is essential.
We are now able to offer select tours and private classes again. The Green Energy Park has a wealth of knowledge that will help encourage a more sustainable and art-filled future for Western North Carolina and its citizens.

Note from the Project Manager
Hello,
You’re welcome to come by any time between 10 am and 4 pm on Wed, Thursday, and Friday (except for the weeks of Thanksgiving and Christmas) to watch our amazing artists working or to buy some of their beautiful work in our gallery.
For guided tours of our facility, we ask that you call or email us beforehand to schedule your visit. During a tour, we’ll tell you about the GEP’s history, explain how we get our gas from the landfill, and highlight all of the positive impacts that the GEP has on our community. Then, we’ll spend time visiting both the glass and metal artists and wander through our gallery. We can accommodate groups up to 20 individuals at a time.
Sincerely, Morgan Kennedy
