![]() Asheville, North Carolina's River Arts District is home to over 180 working artists within 25 studio buildings. It's one of the largest working artists communities in the country and certainly the most interactive!
When you visit River Oaks Studio, home of Asheville basketry artist Matt Tommey, you will be welcomed into a beautiful gallery area featuring his most recent work and that of other regional artists. Come a little further into the studio and you can watch Matt as he creates beautiful sculptural art baskets from natural materials like kudzu, vines, bark and recycled copper that are a perfect addition to the rustic home decor of any mountain home or lake house. As you continue through Asheville's River Arts District, you'll have a similar experience in other studios that feature galleries for you to purchase unique artwork direct from the artist in addition to watching them work. Some other artists I recommend checking out in the River Arts District include:
