Keep Skyland Creative
We believe when the arts thrive, communities thrive.
We are building a flexible gathering space for performances, classes, markets, screenings, celebrations, workshops, and creative events of all kinds. A place where locals and visitors can come together, try something new, and be part of a more vibrant mountain community.
Our mission is to bring more arts, culture, and community events to the Skyland region.
We have the space, we have the vision, and we have the community momentum.
Now we need the support to finish the next phase.
Whether you can give $5 or $500,000, or more, your gift helps create a permanent home for arts, culture, and community in the mountains.
If you want this space to exist, please give today. Help us bring Skyland to life.
Our Vision
We see Skyland as a place where arts, culture, and heritage are essential to everyday life. A place where creativity is accessible to all, artists are supported and celebrated, and cultural experiences feel homegrown, embedded in the community, not added on. We believe that when we prioritize the arts, that elevates everything; education, well-being, connection, and the region’s identity itself.
What is Skyland?
“Skyland” is the connected mountain communities spanning Crestline, Twin Peaks, Lake Arrowhead, Blue Jay, and Green Valley Lake. It’s a 25-mile stretch known for its natural beauty, independence, and long-standing creative undercurrent.
Why this, why now?
Who we are
1
Skyland Arts Foundation is being built by local residents and creatives invested in the long-term cultural future of the region.
Why now?
2
The Skyland area is home to a growing creative enclave, but the area lacks infrastructure to support it. Especially an indoor, physical location that can house performances, workshops, and events.
Why we need your support
3
Support will directly enable the creation of a dedicated arts space, the launch of programming, and the development of a sustainable creative ecosystem that will shape the region for years to come.
