North Carolina art galleries, artists
and indigenous NC mountain crafts are, like the mountains
themselves, a true natural resource. From the centuries-old
functionality of a split oak
basket to a whimsical mixed media
sculpture from Penland School
of Crafts, the quality and
variety of arts and crafts of Western Carolina is among the best
in the country. NC mountain art
and crafts offer a variety of
media including pottery, basketry, wood working,
painting, sculpture, weaving, collage, mixed media and more.
When you take home something from an NC art gallery or artisan,
you take home a little piece of the mountains. |

a year, every second weekend in June and November, Asheville’s River
Arts District opens to the public for two days of festivities
known as the STUDIO STROLL. During the Studio Stroll, now
in its 15th year, artists of the River Arts District welcome you into
their studios to talk with them, see their latest artwork, watch
demonstrations, and experience for yourself the magic hidden inside the
time-worn factories and warehouses along the French Broad River.
