The River Arts District consists of a vast array of artist and working studios in 22 former industrial and historical buildings spread out along one mile stretch of the French Broad River.
This place offers the opportunity to get in touch with an incredible amount of art and artist. The galleries are open to public and most of the times the artist is inside the gallery to explain everything there is to know about the art itself. In this way the experience you get with the art is much more complete and interesting. It is also very inspiring to have the chance to meet all these artists in one place. From the beginning as you enter into the district it is very noticeable that there is a great concentration of creativity. The art and the artists are not only inside the galleries but also on the streets and the exterior of the buildings.
