Art & music provide the creative heartbeat of Asheville, and there’s a wide variety available to suit any taste.
Appalachian roots run deep in local Bluegrass and Old Time music. Jack of the Wood pub jams (Wednesdays & Thursdays) feature each of these genres. 2018 is the 58th season of the Shindig On The Green stage show and jam session, summer Saturdays, starting about sundown in Pack Square.
The Asheville Symphony Orchestra, the Montford Park Players (Shakespeare), and the NC Stage Company add to a spectrum of local music and stagecraft.
The ModAvlTreehouse is 2 miles from Downtown, 4 miles from the River Arts District, and 7 miles from West Asheville. See partial lists of area galleries, theaters, working studios, and music venues below. Our Asheville Guide will provide personal insights into some of our favorites in the coming months.
