Penland has several programs that interface with the community in the area around the school. These include Summer Camps, the Teaching Artist Initiative, Subs with SuitCASEs, and the annual Community Open House, and other programs.

These programs supplement the art education available in the local school system, they build connections between Penland and the surrounding community, the welcome people of all ages to the Penland campus, and they create teaching opportunities for local artists.
