Abstract:

Asheville is known for its downtown art galleries and craft shops. Along the French Broad River is the city's industrial riverfront containing rows of warehouses. Here, over the past decade, artists have been converting the old buildings into studios. The area is known as the River Arts District. Currently there is a thriving community of over forty-five artists and artisans working there, including potters, quilters, and painters.
