ArtSpace Charter School is a K-8 charter school in Swannanoa, North Carolina that integrates a comprehensive arts curriculum with core academics. Its program combines arts education, arts integration, and arts exposure, and emphasizes experiential learning through a school garden, an outdoor classroom, and a STEAM program. The school staffs full-time, certified teachers in every classroom, including the arts disciplines, and frames student development around four pillars—Leadership, Service, Respect, and Effort. In grades K-5, students rotate through visual art, music, dance, theatre, and physical education, while grades 6-8 offer elective options within those arts areas. ArtSpace has earned recognition from the Kennedy Center, the North Carolina Arts Council, and Mountain Xpress readers for excellence in education through the arts, and recent activity includes student participation in the 2026 NC Child Hunger Leaders Conference.
