“Celebrating
the Artist in Every Person”
Heartwood
in the Hills is a non-profit school for the arts, located in
Calhoun County, WV, that offers classes in the arts, dance,
music, mask making and acting.
Class enrollments consist of adults and children from
the counties of Wirt, Wood, Gilmer, Roane and Calhoun.
Upon the completion of each course, the students are
given the opportunity to perform at special events and theatre
productions. These
events allow the students to demonstrate how much they have
learned in their classes.
The school holds events all year, including an annual
December Celebration, which showcases the work of the students
from the summer and fall.
Heartwood in the Hills received a community grant from
the Robert H. Mollohan Family Charitable Foundation to help
them with their many programs, especially the December
Celebration.

UPDATE
Heartwood in the Hills is a non-profit school for the arts
located in Calhoun County. Since 1982, Heartwood has offered
classes in the arts, dance, music, maskmaking, and acting for
adults and children. School enrollment comes from a five
county area, including Wirt, Wood, Gilmer, Roane, and Calhoun.
Classes are held during two twelve week programs in the spring
and fall; in addition, students are given the opportunity to
perform in special events and theatre productions.
For many years, Heartwood borrowed lighting equipment for
their December Celebration, a showcase of student work from
the Fall Program, and for other special events. This often
proved to be costly and required many volunteers to transport
the lights from one venue to another; often, Heartwood would
have difficulty securing the lighting that they needed on the
days that they wanted. In 2002, the Robert H. Mollohan Family
Charitable Foundation granted the organization $2000 for the
specific purpose of purchasing a permanent light system for
their annual December Celebrations and other theatrical
productions. In 2003, Heartwood requested an additional $2000
to complete the project, and the Foundation was quick to
support this endeavor.
