L'escola té un programa d' d' 11 mesos per a artistes novells. El campus d'Arrowmont conté els edificis més antics de Gatlinburg i comprèn dos districtes històrics que figuren al Registre Nacional de Llocs Històrics. La història d'Arrowmont està arrelada en una escola fundada per la fraternitat de dones a Gatlinburg el 1912. L'escola va proporcionar l'única educació pública per als nens a la zona fins que el va assumir el control de les seves escoles públiques a principis dels anys quaranta del segle XX. Beta Phi va ajudar a preparar Gatlinburg per al proper boom del turisme (arran de la creació del Great Smoky Mountains National Park) i també va ajudar els residents de Gatlinburg a accedir al mercat nacional de l'artesaniadels Apalatxes amb l'establiment d'aquest centre a la dècada de 1920. Després que el comtat aconseguís el control de l'escola el 1943, Pi Beta Phi i la van establir uns tallers d'artesania que es van convertir en el que ara és Arrowmont. El campus de l'escola va ser danyat el 29 de novembre de 2016, quan un incendi forestal del proper parc nacional de les Great Smoky Mountains es va estendre per Gatlinburg. Arrowmont va perdre dos edificis de dormitoris i un cobert de manteniment. Tots els altres edificis van resultar il·lesos.

The School has an 11-month Artists-in-Residence program for early career artists. Arrowmont's campus contains the oldest buildings in Gatlinburg and comprises two historic districts listed on the National Register of Historic Places. Arrowmont's history is rooted in a settlement school founded by the Pi Beta Phi women's fraternity in Gatlinburg in 1912. The school provided the only public education for children in the Gatlinburg area until Sevier County assumed control of its public schools in the early 1940s. The early writings and reports of the settlement school's teachers provide an important glimpse of Gatlinburg in the days before the establishment of the Great Smoky Mountains National Park radically changed the city's economy and culture. Pi Beta Phi helped prime Gatlinburg for the coming tourism boom, and also helped Gatlinburg residents tap into the national market for the crafts of Southern Appalachia with the establishment of Arrowcraft in the 1920s. After the county gained control of the settlement school in 1943, Pi Beta Phi and the University of Tennessee established the craft workshops that evolved into what is now Arrowmont. The school's campus was damaged on November 29, 2016, when a wildfire from the nearby Great Smoky Mountains National Park spread throughout Gatlinburg. Arrowmont lost two dormitories and a maintenance shed. All other buildings were unharmed.
