Supporting Asheville's art community - Asheville is a vibrant creative hub that faced significant challenges during the flooding caused by Hurricane Helene in September 2024. Many galleries, arts organizations, artist studios, and working artists were impacted. Your visits and art purchases help support this remarkable creative community. In particular, the River Arts District (RAD), once home to nearly 175 artist studios in 25 buildings, suffered severe losses, with some buildings destroyed by the flooding.


The First Friday Art Walk in downtown Asheville is making a comeback. From July through November, galleries open their doors on the first Friday of each month from 5:00 to 8:00 pm. Experience Asheville's creative energy through gallery openings, artist demonstrations, live music, and family-friendly events while exploring one of the Southeast's most active arts communities.

Asheville's art scene extends well beyond gallery exhibitions and special events.
