River Arts District Named Best Arts District in the Nation
The River Arts District has been named Best Arts District in the U.S. as part of the USA Today 10Best Readers’ Choice Awards.
Selected through a nationwide public vote, the award recognizes districts that offer exceptional artistic experiences, vibrant studio communities, and meaningful cultural impact.
Home to hundreds of working artists, the River Arts District is one of Asheville’s most dynamic creative hubs, where visitors can meet artists, see work in progress, and take home original art created right here in Western North Carolina.
