Asheville Art Museum

The Asheville Art Museum is an active, inspiring organization located in the center of a vibrant city of approximately 70,000 in the beautiful Western North Carolina Mountains. The Museum collects American Art beginning in the 20th century, with a focus on art of significance to the Southeast. The Museum’s facility will soon be doubling in size with a newly renovated and expanded contemporary building located in the center of Asheville. This growing organization, incorporated in 1948 by area artists, serves the Asheville urban area and is the only art museum serving the 23 counties that make up Western North Carolina (with a total population exceeding one million).
