Who are we and Where are we?

We are a group of passionate arty type folks-- all
devoted to the ART of living and making a living from
ART. In May 2008, we decided to  "take our show on
the road" and form an alliance of like-minded gallery
owners in order to better serve our art community.
The
Gallery Guild of Henderson County was created.

Living and working in Henderson County, NC on a
daily basis--
there is so much darn inspiration
around these parts -- w
e feel compelled to share our
experience and inspirations with you.


Where are we again?

Our galleries are located in the heart of gorgeous
Western North Carolina and surrounded by ancient
mountains-- we have always been a true "ART
DESTINATION."

We are also close to other top art destinations:

Here are some more links to the arty places we enjoy:

If you love art-- you may have already visited one of our neighbors nearby: the Asheville River-Arts
District
 is home to bi-annual shows that have created nationwide attention, recently making
Asheville one of the
TOP-TEN Art Destinations in the country!  Many of those studios are open on
Fridays throughout the year.  

Greenville, SC has transformed their river front that winds through a charming downtown to an arts
destination with wonderful walking parks complete with waterfalls.
 "Artisphere" is the annual
highlight show, filling the park with hundreds of participants.  
Spartanburg, SC has an appealing
downtown square, home to galleries where a number of Henderson County artists also show their
work.
Columbia, SC, along the interstate in the piedmont is growing an exciting group of artists.
Columbia, NC
has grown into an artistic gateway into the majestic North Carolina Outer Banks area.  

Along the Carolina coast -- you may have fallen in love with
Charleston, South Carolina.
        
So have we!  
In fact, we have had a historical and mutual "love affair" with that great city
 for several centuries!   
Every summer for the last two hundred years or so, Charlestonians have flocked to our own
Flat Rock to escape the tropical weather and enjoy the cool mountain air.  The Flat Rock Village
center is home to our own,
"little Rainbow Row," where four galleries in our group are located.

Since we are close to all these wonderful art filled areas-- please add us to your, "short list" of  Art
Towns to visit.  We are happy to help you plan your art journey. We wouldn't mind giving you the  
"inside scoop" of where we like to stay and go too!  

To make it easier for you to find galleries and types of art you may be interested in, we have complied
a list of all our galleries on, you guessed it,  our
 ART GALLERY GUIDE  page.

A map of how to reach our galleries is located on our
TOUR MAP page.
