SECOND SATURDAYS IN THE RAD!

On the Second Saturday of each month, the River Arts District Artists, Asheville holds gallery walks with demonstrations, workshops, live music, wine tastings, delicious food, and more! Meander the mile-long district or hop on and off the free trolley and discover all that the “RAD” has to offer. Celebrate art, craft, and design with over 300 artists in 26 buildings. Studios are open daily, but Second Saturday Art Stroll js the best day of the month to meet the most artists, collect original artwork, see art demonstrations, and party with the artists at exhibit receptions. Family fun and ample parking! There’s also a beautiful Greenway adjacent to the RAD that runs beside the French Broad River, so bring the bikes and scooters and make a day of it!

RIDE the FREE Trolley! Prime hours are 10-5 with the FREE @artsasheville trolley scooting around the RAD and downtown AVL from 12-6. Look for the “FREE Trolley” signs around the District and hop on and off.
