ABOUT MOUNTAINTROTTER ARTS
MountainTrotter Arts is a non-profit organization based in Radford, VA. With volunteer members, MTA is dedicated to showcasing and advocating for local artists, musicians, and creators. By creating free local events, MTA not only supports the local arts, but encourages the community to learn from the arts, enjoy what the arts has to offer, and shop local & small. Our events are proud to be inclusive and open to all.
MountainTrotter Arts welcomed their new Executive Director, Lauri Murphy, in 2018. The organization has since revitalized their mission and expanded their board and programming. Lauri has always been a strong advocate for local artisans, crafters, and makers and has been a dedicated volunteer in the city of Radford. Along with like-minded board members, MTA is dedicated to bringing quality events in our home town.
