About
More than eighty years ago, Clara Muxen dreamed of a school where hands-on skills and community relationships could thrive. That dream became Ozark Folkways, and it still guides us today.
We’ve grown beyond what some might call “arts and crafts.”
Here you’ll find:
- Workshops on gardening, foraging, and cooking
- Regular jam sessions for musicians of all levels
- Playdays and gallery space for artists to share and sell their work
- Festivals and concerts that bring the hills to life
- Volunteer opportunities for those who want to give their time
- Donations and sponsorships that safeguard our programs and our historic building
From Clara’s vision to today’s vibrant mix of workshops, jams, and festivals—from her Muxen Building’s folk school in Winslow to the Walker-Stone House’s Fayetteville Folk School—Ozark Folkways is still keeping the dream alive.
