Asheville Arts and Science Festival

The AASF seeks to create a bridge between the arts, the sciences, and the Asheville community. We want people to not just understand art and science, but to participate in it. We want to encourage tangible interactions that demystify and inspire the next generation of artists and scientists.

Hear short talks from local scientists, and ask them about their work. Listen to local music while checking out some amazing science fair projects. Check out some cool critters, or make something beautiful to take home with you.

Come explore why Asheville is called both “Paris of the South” for its rich arts culture and “Climate City” (we host the largest climate data repository)! And with a location like the Salvage Station, you’ll also get to enjoy our “Beer City” title…
