Feather Phillips, founder and executive director, Pocosin Arts Feather Phillips founded Pocosin Arts Center in 1994. Originally from northeastern Pennsylvania, Phillips began her career working in public television in Boston. In the late 1960s, after realizing that the city life was not for her, she moved to Martha’s Vineyard, where, she creatde her life around a sense of place rather than around a career. In 1972, Phillips boarded a boat and sailed south, ending up in Wilmington, NC, where she lived for 9 years. In search of cleaner and more economically viable water sources for her husband’s boat building business, she and her family moved to Bass, NC in 1980 and found the Alligator River. In 1987, they settled in Columbia, NC, where Phillips taught Art at a school in a neighboring county. Much of her vision for a community-based curriculum at Pocosin Arts came from that experience and from learning about the area's children and their families, values and traditions.
