Art in the Forest.
Community on the Mountain.
Three historic Forest Service cabins, reborn as studios where artists gather, create, and call the mountain home.
A Remarkable Place with a Remarkable History
At the South Summit Blacksmith Shop location, we now have four double forges for teaching the craft of blacksmithing and metal arts.
The Raven Studio was built in 1960 and originally used as a personal residence for higher ranking Forest Service personnel. Its basement now serves as a glass studio. The cabin also has main floor space for Jewelry-Arts (non-torch), Textiles-Fibers Arts, Visual Arts, Writing and other art-specific art gatherings.
The Trillium Studio (Raven’s twin) serves as an ideal space for printmaking, jewelry making, textiles/fibers arts and other hand crafts.
This is the ultimate ‘recycling’ of government buildings for use by the public, to be shared for generations.

Lodging for destination travelers
Spend some time on the mountain! Lodges, cabins, campsites, hotels, and more are available. Sorry, lodging is not available at the cabins for students.
Luckily, this area has been a destination for thousands of years (Yes, that's right! Thousands!), so please visit Mt. Hood Territory to find some amazing places to stay!
CCAC is located in Government Camp, Oregon of the Mt Hood National Forest. Travel is scenic and full of adventure for an art trip to Oregon. Portland International Airport (PDX) is about an hour away. The Columbia River Gorge National Scenic Area is a must-see and adds a great "loop" around our mountain. Enjoy!
