Ashe County artist Florence Thomas (1909-2007) dreamed of establishing an art school. She invested time and resources into sharing art education education opportunities with the community and Florence Thomas Art School is her legacy. Florence Thomas’ artistic influence and passion for opening the door to transformational experiences in the arts lives on through our workshops, exhibitions, and outreach programs.
