The River Arts District Studio Stroll is the first, largest, and most walkable tour of working artists’ studios in the region. Located in 19 historic buildings along the French Broad River, the District features artists’ demonstrations and hands-on activities during the 2-day event.

Sprinkled throughout the District are lots of great places to eat, drink, see a performance, or just hang out. Try some nationally renowned barbeque, organic juices and teas, tacos, or great-tasting local food. Try Asheville’s famous microbrews at The Wedge.

On Studio Stroll weekend you can catch the free trolley at any of the eight stops, or take a leisurely walk from studio to studio. Demos and activities take place all day. In some studios you can try your hand at different techniques.

Easily accessible from Downtown, West Asheville, and Biltmore Village, the River Arts District offers plenty of free parking. An information booth is located at the 5-points intersection where Depot St. meets Clingman Ave., across from the Clingman Café. Brochures and maps are available at the info booth and in all of the buildings.

Visit the studios of the River Arts District Artists on Saturday, November 10 and  Sunday, November 11, from 10 a.m. to  6 p.m. both days. For special events, directions, and more information go to www.riverartsdistrict.com.
