_The Official Website for the Artists of the River Arts District in Asheville, NC

_A jewel in the crown of Asheville is how Mayor Terry Bellamy describes the River Arts District. This unique neighborhood along the French Broad River is home to more than 165 artists with working studios located in 18 turn-of-the-century industrial buildings.

You will find an amazing range of art— from cutting edge sculpture and paintings to traditional raku fired pottery, and everything in-between. Check out the top ten ways to get ready for your visit, find out who's open, and download a Studio Guide.
