THE VISION
The Lost Province Center for Cultural Arts (LPCCA) team came together around a shared passion for Southern Appalachian traditions, culture and the arts. Now, we're working tirelessly to realize our dream: a hustling, bustling arts and cultural showcase and event venue in Lansing, North Carolina located in the historic Lansing School.
Lost Province Arts will renovate the old school building to create a learning center that promotes Appalachian arts, crafts and skills. The Center will share Southern Appalachian traditions with a new generation and revitalize the beautiful rural area of Lansing, NC where it resides.
Skilled artisans will teach master classes in arts and crafts, music and culinary arts.
Students will enjoy unique experiences unavailable elsewhere in the region.
The historic Lansing School will be home to it all.
