Asheville Arts

Like many towns trying to distinguish themselves and build higher level economies, Asheville stakes a lot on it’s arts district. It’s certainly the most successful example of this I’ve seen. Hardly a novelty here, the town is known nationwide for being the hip jewel of the south and cultivates that reputation. Galleries and open studios can be found all over the city. Walking around the river arts district I had chanced upon the Asheville Arts Council “Artist of the Year”, Jonas Gerard, in action.

    Damn dude, the photos keep getting better and better while the subjects are getting quirkier! :) And I see you’re close to home - well not that close, but closer than you were on New Years.

    I think there’s another Nelson County born artist in Ashville named Galen Bernard. Did you run across Galen?
