Summer in the cool, blue, Appalachian Mountains means many things–misty mornings, green so overwhelming that you may think you’re in Oz, and sunsets that give you pause. Add to that a rich layer of Augusta and you begin to understand what draws people to this special place on the hill for five weeks each summer. When we talk to folks about why they come to Augusta, certain words keep percolating to the top: inspiring, exhausting, connecting, jamming. These are all part of the Augusta Experience.
Look through this catalog and discover all the opportunities to learn from some of the most talented and well-known experts in the fields of music, dance, craft and folkways – from world-class blues artists to down-home Cajun chefs. Then pull out your calendar and see when you can come! While many sign up for a week (or even two) of non-stop learning and fun, others join us for our great variety of evening mini-courses, dances, and concerts.
