River Arts District Asheville

We are a diverse group of more than 220 working artists in studios and galleries housed in 22 former factories and historical buildings nestled along a mile-long stretch of the French Broad River. Many studios, showrooms, and galleries are open every day, all year round. You can discover works in paint, pencil, pottery, metal, fiber, paper, glass, wax and more!
Getting to the River Arts District is easy using this map. Take advantage of ample parking and hop aboard one of our free trolleys running throughout the Studio Stroll Weekends.
