Art for
Changing lives in the heart of Asheville for over 20 years.
Art gives a voice where words may be hard to find.
We are a supportive, fully-equipped studio and gallery dedicated to representing and empowering adults with disabilities to connect to and reach their full potential through the arts.
The Paper Flower Project
A single sheet of paper—painted, splattered, stamped by the artists—unfolds into something far greater: a field of blooms shaped not just by many hands, but by many hearts.
Our ever-popular, everlasting flowers can be found in our gallery, online, and at many locations around town.
Each sale directly supports our artists and sustains our award-winning programs.
