Black Belt Treasures

Black Belt Treasures is a non-profit organization developed to showcase and promote the arts of the Black Belt region. The development and retention of the area’s art skills are vital to the process. All of these elements combine as an economic engine that has resulted in increased sales and recognition for area artists, as well as contributing to the development of the tourism industry in our region.

Since its opening in September 2005, Black Belt Treasures has grown from representing 75 artists to representing over 350. Black Belt Treasures features the works of a cross section of talented painters, sculptors, potters, basket-weavers, quilters, and woodworkers. Visitors from throughout the United States and abroad have visited the Black Belt Treasures Gallery since its opening in 2005; then traveled to other points of interest in the Black Belt region.

Help stimulate the economy in Alabama's Black Belt region through the promotion of regional art and fine crafts, provide regional artisans a means to promote and sell their products to a larger market and provide arts education to area residents.
