Artists of the Black Mountain, Swannanoa, Fairview, and East Asheville area, present the East of Asheville Studio Tour. The studio tour takes place twice a year - Spring and Fall (May and October). Everyone is welcome to visit any or all of the studios during the tour, whether they are serious art patrons or just browsers of beautiful and interesting works.

The October Tour will be held during American Craft Week, a nationwide movement dedicated to celebrating American arts and crafts. The Tour extends all the way to Old Fort and welcomes many new artists from that area.

The Tour showcases a diverse array of artists including exquisite hand blown glass, ceramics, painting, fine woodworking, sculpture and more. What better way to celebrate the beauty of autumns radiant glory in these mountains than to spend two days exploring and visiting artists and see their work first hand in their own element?

Many of the artists will provide demonstrations of their work for you to see and enjoy. Visiting a gallery or show is wonderful. But when an artist welcomes you into their personal studio, you get to see whole new dimension of the creative spirit and process by having a personal visit. It has been said often that a home provides a window into the human soul. So visiting an artist’s studio provides a unique opportunity to not only meet and interact with local artists, but to see and understand more fully the nature of their own unique creativity.

The Asheville area is proud to have a strong grassroots tradition of supporting local businesses and the EAST Studio Tour is a terrific opportunity for everyone to come out and enjoy the beauty of our region’s artistic legacy and support our local artists.
