CLOUDCREEK HOME

GROUNDS & FACILITIES

Cloud Creek Institute For The Arts covers approximately 25 beautiful wooded acres at the top of a mountain in the Arkansas Ozarks, one of the most picturesque ranges in North America.

The Main House & Office Building is in the center of a 3 acre clearing at the highest point of the mountain, with horses pastured alongside and a chicken house with exotic chickens nearby. At the entrance to the property are a spring fed natural pond and another pasture. Halfway down the rear of the mountain are cabins built by the Original Settlers on the property many years ago, and at the rear is Cloud Creek itself.

Across the clearing from the Main House & Office Building is the Annex, which houses a Meeting Room, Art Studio, Video Production Studio, state-of-the-art Editing Bay and facilities for short-term or long-term stays.

Cloud Creek is in the process renovating the Original Settlers Cabins so that teachers and students can also live there while at CCIA.

Cloud Creek Institute For The Arts is located in North Central Arkansas, one hour from famous Branson, Mo. The best way to get here is to fly into Little Rock, Arkansas, which is approximately two hours from CCIA.
