The River Arts District is one of my favorite places to take a stroll along the river, find creative inspiration in art and food. It is hard to imagine Asheville without it. Our friend Constance Richards recently wrote this overview article about it here. Enjoy and please stop by and support our local artists and business owners.

“Today visitors to the RAD can visit artists at work, take a class, acquire an object d’art from its maker, and grab a bite and beer. On the second Saturday of every month, the River Arts District hosts its Second Saturday event, featuring gallery walks with demonstrations, workshops, live music, wine tastings, delicious food, and more. Visitors can check out as many studios in one day as possible, aided by free trolley rides between the 23 buildings spanning the two square miles or so that compose the district”.
