About Appalachian Center For Craft - TN
The Appalachian Center For Craft (ACCF) is a spacious, multifaceted campus facility operated by Tennessee Tech University. Located at 1560 Craft Center Dr, Smithville, TN 37166, ACCF offers extensive studios, a public gallery/store, a café, housing, and multiple lecture spaces across more than 87,000 square feet. While not a traditional performance venue, ACCF hosts a vibrant calendar of exhibitions, craft sales, and events such as the Annual Celebration of Craft on the TTU Craft Center campus. Visitors can enjoy rotating exhibitions in the gallery, hands-on studio vistas, and community programs that celebrate regional craft. Secure your seats or spots for events by checking calendar updates, and plan a comfortable visit with our practical guide below.
Note: There is no fixed seating chart or single event capacity published. Exhibitions and events utilize flexible spaces across over 4,000 square feet of gallery area and multiple lecture rooms. When you attend an ACCF event, you’ll experience the atmosphere of a dynamic craft hub rather than a standard concert hall.
