Enjoyed walking around this area. Some great art work and reasonable prices. The graffiti on the buildings is a great addition to the artisan atmosphere.

Loving this River Art District in Asheville! 😍. A hub of 300+ artists collective to meet, chat with and appreciate is such a unique experience! HOWEVER, the key locations to visit are scattered and without planning ahead, I accidentally walked 30,000+ steps in 4 hours! 😥 very tired indeed! So, NOTE for future visits: START the day with ULTRA Coffeebar (great coffee and breakfast), THEN park at WEDGE brewing company to visit the studios in its building (also because they open earlier), THEN drive to lunch at 12 BONES (best BBQ in town), visit the street arts, studios, Marquee and have a wine tasting at Plēb Urben Winery nearby before you MOVE to the other side of the railway - the studios on Depot st. near the Magnetic Theatre and, END the day with a meal at Vivian (make sure to reserve a table in advance for this small and special dinner place)! AND that would be a perfect day for River Art District! 👌

Great restaurants and public art. There's also a really nice riverside path and bike lanes

Is there a brochure w/ map showing studios by discipline? I'm particularly interested in contemporary glass, weaving, and hand-built ceramics.

I am here in town today through Tuesday. Are the studios open today?

Yes.

I have some antique plates from the late 1800s and I would like to see if anyone would like to buy them?

the River Arts District is a place where artists make work and we show and sell it to our clients... for antique plates i think you would need to reach out to an antiques dealer? rather than our artists? not sure this will help but i do hope that it does! my best wishes for a happy holiday season!

Can anyone put up are like graffiti art or paint anywhere without getting in trouble
