Since 2000, the NKC Historical Society has maintained an agreement with the High Country Artists association (HCA) to maintain and operate the Carpenter House Museum.  In addition, HCA organizes workshops and classes, as well as exhibits their art at the Museum.  High Country Artists is a non-profit cooperative organization formed to create, share and foster art in the community.  Members display their art at the Carpenter House Museum on a rotating basis.  HCA holds monthly business meetings the first Friday of each month at 1:00pm on Zoom or at the Carpenter House.
