4.0River Arts District(1.307 reviews) - Creativity abounds! Saturday: 10:00 AM - 6:00 PM Art Galleries • Neighborhoods
If you like art, buy art, or create art, this district is definitely a must see. Take a day to wander through artists and craftsmen open studios as they create. Many artists took the time to stop their work to talk about it and answer questions about the district. Very genuine and authentic! Make sure to support these artists and buy while you’re there for gifts and yourself. A bonus is the breweries and restaurants close by.See more..
4.5Lexington Glassworks(976 reviews) - Love watching the process Saturday: 10:00 AM - 6:00 PM Spent < 1 hour Art Galleries
Lexington Glassworks, located in the heart of downtown Asheville, NC, was born out of the desire to create timeless and innovative hand-blown glass. Each piece is skillfully crafted using century old techniques and locally sourced material with the singular goal of creating top-notch work. The gallery features high quality custom lighting and handmade glass for any budget. Lexington Glassworks is a makers studio where the public is invited to view the artists at work. While here take the unique opportunity to enjoy a locally crafted beer, this is truly an Asheville experience. Note: We do not blow glass on Tuesdays.See more..
4.5Woolworth Walk(844 reviews) - Low stress art Saturday: 11:00 AM - 7:00 PM Art Galleries
Lot’s of different artists display here, some of it’s really good and some is just weird, but that’s art. Most prices were realistic too. I don’t like normal galleries because there is always someone following you around trying to determine if you are serious about a $1,000 glass cat but here your free to roam around and look without some miss snooty asking if you like glass cats or pigs better.

4.5French Connections(47 reviews) - Not Just Yard Art Spent 1-2 hours Speciality & Gift Shops • Art Galleries • Antique Shops
Since I'm not into yard art, I overlooked this place until a neighbor said they have fabulous international fabrics and one of a kind items. I'm not sure why they have an African and a French vibe, but it works. They even had "oilcloth" which is really vinyl laminated fabrics which can be hard to find in anything other than red gingham.See more..

While visiting the area, I continually heard gardeners recommend the plants grown by John Martin of Cedar Creek Gallery. Sure enough, he was selling plants that were equally new to me and desirable. Plant souvenirs. Check. Indoors. the gallery was a continual delight as I meandered from room to room. I cannot image a better collection of artists and their work. Thank you Cedar Creek. Visiting was the highlight of my trip.See more..

5.0Uwharrie Crystalline(21 reviews) - Another Pottery Worth Visiting in Seagrove..... Spent < 1 hour Speciality & Gift Shops • Art Galleries
My wife and i have visited the Seagrove area before and have always found beautiful pieces to bring home with us. The Uwharrie Crystalline Pottery is a must visit when in town. This time we came up for the 36th Annual Seagrove Pottery Festival but also visited numerous potters along the NC Pottery Highway. We had a chance to speak with owner Pam Kennedy who is very friendly and likes to answer any questions regarding her line of unique pottery. (some potters are not quite so friendly and accommodating). When in Seagrove make sure you visit Uwharrie Crystalline right in the middle of town. Just down the street from the NC Pottery Center.See more..
5.0The Joyful Jewel(19 reviews) - Exciting Saturday: 10:30 AM - 5:30 PM Art Galleries
As an amateur artist I get excited when I can look at art. The Joyful Jewel reminds me of Aladdin's Cave (which I've only seen in movies). It has such a great variety of art and is always getting in new things that I'm always stimulated when I visit. I come for artist dates - to refuel on colors and shapes and media. Photography. Pottery. Dream catchers. Jewelry. Clothing. Knitted items. Paintings. Wood work. Ironwork. You won't find any commercially produced items here, except for artist created card reproductions, photo prints, or giclees, but nothing made in China or for mass markets. Definitely a must visit attraction. There's items at every price level, and all of it a surprisingly less than you'd find in a big city. I highly recommend it.See more..

We watched them working in the kilns for a little while. See more..
I considered it a little hard to find. The outside building doesn’t say the name the name of gallery especially since is inside an university. Free admission. Current exhibition was about Chagall.
