The Asheville Gallery of Art is one of my favorite galleries to visit in Downtown Asheville. It is…read morenear Pritchard Park. The gallery has existed for 35 years so likely the oldest art gallery in Asheville. The artists are co-owners of the gallery so also work at the gallery. I like the variety of work displayed here as there are some types of art that appeal to you more than others but the work quality is phenomenal. Make sure to check out this gem when you in are Downtown Asheville.

Many of the artists were working in their spaces so you could watch them or ask them questions about their process. This was a fun and funky space with an eclectic mix of sensibilities and viewpoints. The entry is also the River Arts District welcome center, and there was food and drink, as well as friendly people to answer questions. I purchased several pieces of pottery for friends. Stop in this vibrant space for a gift or a souvenir of Asheville.

Reems Creek Pottery is a working studio where the artists also sell what they make on-site. I…read morelearned about it through an artist (IyaBlu' Inc) that was attending a downtown Asheville pottery festival. Rachel Smith opened the studio in 2015 and collaborates with 6-8 pottery artists creating anything from dishes to ornaments to vases and more. Her husband, Dana Smith also sells his custom writing instruments and kitchen utensils here. Besides the expected wooden inlay pens, he uses unique materials like pasta and oats, which are worth checking out. I always find something I like here, and prices are reasonable. It's also a great spot to pick up a gift. Hours are typically around 10-3 M-Sat but do vary.

We stopped in when we were spending the afternoon exploring the River Arts District. I was actually…read moresurprised because Yelp said it was closed on Mondays, but we walked past and all the doors were open! So we went in to look and peruse. There were really cool pottery and sculpture things to see and buy. The gallery surrounds what appears to be a studio area, and there are small rooms/booths for the different artists, inviting you in to see more of their work. The only negative was how crazy hot it was! I found out a little later that many of the buildings and studios in the area don't have A/C, but whew! It was a waaaarm day and man, I just really wanted a cool breeze! That said, if you are in the area and you like pottery and arty stuff, this gallery should definitely be on your to-see list!
