The 2008 Studio Guide is at the printers and will be available soon!

During the Studio Stroll, now in its 15th year, artists of the River Arts District welcome you into their studios to talk with them, see their latest artwork, watch demonstrations, and experience for yourself the magic hidden inside the time-worn factories and warehouses along the French Broad River.

The Studio Stroll is free and open to the public. Most studios are within walking distance of each other, and there is plenty of free parking. Arrive early and stay for lunch at any of our neighborhood eateries including Clingman Avenue Coffee & Catering, Twelve Bones Smokehouse, Twin Cousins Kitchen and Greene’s Mini Mart. Go home with new ideas, gifts for friends and even something special for you. 
Visit us and step into the heart of creativity!

Visit the River Arts District year 'round. There's always lots to see!
