Davy Crockett, passed through on their way west. Discover for
yourself the historical pathways that led to the settlement of the
Swannanoa Valley, Buncombe County, and Western North Carolina.

Seven Sisters Gallery in Black Mountain, NC has
been celebrating American artisans since 1981. Featured are
unique, one-of-a-kind fine arts and crafts including pottery,
jewelry, sculpture, paintings, glassware and metal workers, all
hand-crafted in America. More than 250 artists are represented. |
Black Mountain Iron Works Wander

to the water as it trickles
from handmade fountains. Relax on a
whimsical bench or stroll by the door to the studio. You may catch
glimpses of works in progress.

The Old Depot Association & Gallery, a non-profit and volunteer organization, was
started in 1976 to protect and maintain the 100 year old train
depot and support the teaching of mountain and heritage crafts in
the local Swannanoa Valley Schools. The Association sponsors scholarships to assist artisans from
Western North Carolina to further study within their field. The
Depot Association offers various craft classes during the summer
and sponsored an arts program in each of five public schools to
meet the needs of the art teacher's curriculum. |
Black Mountain Studio
(Swannanoa) One of the best kept
secrets in the area, Black Mountain Studio is a Fine
Craft and Art Gallery featuring many local artists as well as some
nationally known artists. Owned and operated by Austin and Maud Boleman.
They are both award winning potters with work
being shown all over the United States and parts
of Europe. |
Gingko Tree Gallery, Joye Ardyn Durham Photography for me is
a gift and I feel very grateful to be able to share it with others.
Capturing images that preserve
one's experience in time is what my
work is all about. A baby’s first laugh, a joining of two souls,
a family together for a mountain visit, the surrounding
inspiration of natural life, and the creative expression in the
artistic form, all are a part of photography in my world. |
Sharole Ewing Fine Art
Sharole creates artwork and portraiture
primarily in
the Realism style while her other selected works have
hints of the Impressionistic and Painterly styles. Born in Vancouver, BC, Canada Sharole’s home is now in Western North
Carolina area. She is a member of the Dare County Arts Council and
the Swannanoa Valley Fine Arts League. |
The Curiosity Shoppe

frames, jewelry and much more. Located at 118 Cherry Street in
