The addition to the Turchin Center for Visual Arts at Appalachian State University is comprised of three unique gallery spaces, a gift shop, a 135-seat auditorium, an outdoor sculpture garden, and a landscaped gateway into campus. The renovation component includes the creation of new studio, teaching studio, archival, photo lab, and critique spaces. Situated on King Street, the center is in a unique position as the only part of the ASU campus to touch downtown Boone. While recognition as a premiere regional arts facility is the primary objective, Turchin Center also intends to connect the community to the campus through year-round community-based programming.
