Crossnore Weavers and Gallery

Reviewed By C8657QGmikeb

This is a must-see if you're in the area. Watching a room full of people working on looms is fun and their output is artful. Also attached is a crafts gallery. We bought an interesting mug with a rounded bottom that fits into a small pedestal.

Cherokee Heritage Museum and Gallery

Reviewed By 69UsAf73 - Gainesville, United States

Before you enter there is an entrance fee. Once you enter there you will experience a informative, historical story of the Cherokee people. Beautiful display of artifacts along with an informational detail. There is a separate area that covers the trail of Tears which is informative and truly heart breaking. At the end of the tour there is a gift shop that you can visit. Very well worth the visit.

Downtown Asheville Art District

This listing is for Asheville's downtown art galleries. A group of art galleries and museums within a walk-able area centered around Pack Square located at the intersection of Biltmore Avenue and Patton Avenue. Not to be confused with the river arts district, an area some distance from downtown with artists studios.
