Partnership with Preserving a Picturesque America

The CCC has joined forces with talented local artists from Preserving a Picturesque America (PAPA) to create one-of-a-kind original pieces of art depicting the places we love and must protect in the Hickory Nut Gorge.

Half of the funds from the purchase of each piece of art go directly toward furthering the CCC's mission of protecting, preserving and expanding climbing in the Carolinas. The other half will go to supporting the artists.
