I was giving visiting friends a tour of our beloved city, when one of them found the galleries in the old Woolworth's building. I hadn't been in there before, but was pleasantly surprised by not just the quality of many artist's works, but also the prices, which I found to be reasonable. Both the main floor and basement have been turned into small display areas for (maybe 150 local artists). My fave display was the HD with a wooden gas tank and fenders. It was Beautiful. Of course it can't be ridden like that, but all that chrome and polished wood was a nice homage to murdersickle riders everywhere. There is also an old fashion ice cream shop on the first floor.

Guess we came in during shift change got a sweet treat and a bottle of pop well the best thing about a bottle of coke one it use to taste different and it had to be ice cold well i know now they had just stocked the cooler and the person taking and getting order didn't think about the just stocked coke would be hot so i then asked for a cup of ice it just killed it was like watered down fountain pop lol guess cause i was so anticipating the taste well i can't go back in time and fix that one oh well maybe next time oh and also he didn't tell me all they had was Mexican coke so that's different as well i think everyone was getting ready to leave cause from the reviews which is why we came in this isn't normal

What a cool thing to do to preserve an bit of history! There are quite a few artists booths here on the main floor and in the basement. In my opinion the art is generally of good quality with emphasis on photography and 2 dimensional art. Some of the booths have artists and some don't which can make for a more relaxed "just browsing" kind of experience. The building also has an old-style (perhaps authentic) lunch counter in it which was pretty cool. I didn't eat there but was mighty tempted. In the general vicinity there are many other cool buildings or shops so definitely worth popping into and at least taking a peek.

A friend and I walked into this space without any expectations or ideas, and spent nearly two hours exploring the diverse array of incredible talent available in this space. Walking through these displays of talent and creative expression was time well spent! It was beautiful, entertaining, educational, and even inspirational. If you enjoy art and want to see a sampling of works by local/regional creators, if you simply appreciate seeing used of various forms and mediums, or if you are looking for a piece to transform a space, this place is brimming with treasures.

What a great historic site that used to be a Woolworth, but now plays host to an artists co-op where artists can display their wares for sale and there is a central cashier who takes care of the transactions. It's like antique malls with multiple vendors, but more fun since it is original art. The only drawback is that the artists are not available if you have a question. They have also preserved the original soda fountain and counter so you can stop for a snack and a soda shake. If you like original art, this is a must stop.

Love this love this unsuspecting art gallery/store in the middle of the downtown Asheville. With perhaps 100 artists represented, this was a great way to spend an hour. Paintings, Metal art, sculptures and jewelers are all represented. You can even pick up a quick bite or beverage at the early 1900s style soda counter inside. Be sure to visit the downstairs as well. The staff was super friendly and very helpful. This is also a great place to spend some time while on the waitlist for Chai Pani which is right around the corner.
