Experience a taste of our region's cultural arts at Asheville Regional Airport.
We are proud to be a part of Western North Carolina and our art and music programs are designed to showcase some of the creativity that is generated throughout this region. From painters and sculptors to folk musicians and concert pianists, the program gives local artists a stage (or a wall) on which their art-forms can be appreciated by thousands of travelers, daily. We invite you to enjoy a sample of our local art and music culture along your journey.
Art Gallery
The airport's art gallery is located in the main lobby of the terminal building. The gallery displays rotating, curated exhibits of artwork by local fine artists. As you ease through the airport on your journey, to or from, we encourage you to take a moment to enjoy the view from the gallery.
Buying Artwork
In the gallery, when you find a piece for sale that you just can't live without, making a purchase is easy. Simply send an email to the contact below, stating the name of the artist, the title of the piece you wish to purchase, and your contact information. You will receive a purchase agreement outlining the details of your artwork purchase. It's that easy.
Please Note: Artwork displayed in the Student Artwork Showcase is not for sale.
