About Us

The Black Belt takes its name from a band of rich black soil that stretches across south central Alabama. The region first prospered because it was ideally suited for growing cotton, but it also has been fertile ground for an amazingly diverse and talented group of artists, craftsmen and entrepreneurs.

Black Belt Treasures is a non-profit economic development program marketing high quality products from the Black Belt region. Our retail gallery features artwork, sculpture, pottery, woodwork, baskets, jewelry, books and much more. Our secure shopping site offers an opportunity to purchase many one-of-a-kind, handmade Black Belt products.

For more than just a shopping experience, visit Black Belt Treasures and immerse yourself in the history, culture and talent of our region.
