Tamarack provides a venue for West Virginia artisans to exhibit and market their crafts and craftsmanship. However, it does much more than that. It provides a place where visitors to the state can view products that represent the heritage of the state. They also provide grants for apprenticeships thus ensuring that our master craftsman can pass their expertise on to future generations thereby preserving our heritage. They encourge economic development by allowing our young prople to pursue careers in the arts and crafts right here at home. The Tamarack Foundation is a very valuable asset to the State of West Virginia.

Quality products, service and exceptional food. It's a destination that is well worth the travel. It is the best of West Virginia.

I love browsing through the arts and crafts at Tamarack. We stop every chance we get on our way back to West Virginia. If you want to see a wide variety of high-end arts and crafts, there's no where better. I also write about the state sometimes, and Tamarack has graciously stocked those titles in their book department (The Glass Madonna and Magic in the Mountains: Kelsey Murphy, Robert Bomkamp, and the West Virginia Cameo Glass Revolution).

Tamarack and the Tamarack Foundation have played important roles in displaying my art (oil paintings) to the public. My work has been displayed and sold at Tamarack and the Foundation has provided an opportunity for me to show my art to the public. My sales increased and I had the opportunity to meet and talk with other artists supported by the Foundation. I have nothing but positive comments for the help they have given me.

I am a West irginia native transplanted away, who goes to Tamarack on every trip south. There is always someone new, and items presented in interesting ways. We have learned about different ideas and learned to appreciate the talent and multiple forms of expression presented by these artists. Besides that, it is the best place to buy Christmas, birthday and special occasion gifts for family and friends. The beauty is unsurpassed. The best part is, we find new discoveries each time we're there.

I have been given professional support from the Tamarack Artisan Resource Center Staff on countless occassions over the past 3 to 4 years. I have recieved guidance on the direction of my artisic and creative professional pursuits as a juried Tamarack Artisan. The Resource Center has provided me invaluable encouragement and services such as professional photographs of my work, technical assistance and suggestions with design of my business card and product display. All Foundation Resource Center Representatives have provided valuable, genuine, heartfelt support to me and I appreciate them.

I believe Tamarack has great vision and adequate funding to help support the economic development of WV craftsman, artists such as myself and general public. Unfortunately I've never been impressed with anyone I've met who works for or manages day to day activities in the organization. Although some of these individuals may have been enthusiatic about their craft and their position with Tamarack, I do not feel they were experienced enough nor focused enough to grow the organization. Tamarack needs to be run as a business by business men and women and not as a non-profit organization who continually looks for handouts and political support to meet their budget requirements. I have not participated with Tamarack as an artist nor as a patron in the past 9 months as there is nothing new and exciting to see there. As a previous board member for a non-profit art museum, I hope someone with new and exciting ideas begins to assist Tamarack soon as I would love to have a reason to take my young family there soon.
The Great!
