From August 1st through October, over 15 galleries open from 5–8PM each First Friday. Explore exhibitions, meet artists, and enjoy a behind-the-scenes look at Asheville’s creative scene. Wander at your own pace, then stay downtown for dinner or drinks. Bring a friend, stay curious, and enjoy the simple pleasure of a night filled with conversation, community, and inspiring artworks.

The September Walk invites the public to connect directly with the artists behind the work—offering a unique opportunity to explore their inspirations, hear about their creative processes, and gain deeper insight into their concepts. Guests can enjoy a relaxed, welcoming atmosphere with a glass of wine in hand as they engage in meaningful conversations and discover the vibrant energy that defines Asheville’s art scene. 

During the October Walk, acclaimed jewelry designer Jeffrey Burroughs will host a special “Wine & Shop” event at the gallery. Guests will have the rare opportunity to hear Jeffrey speak about his meticulous process—from sourcing exceptional gemstones from around the world to translating their natural beauty into his signature handcrafted designs. With a glass of wine in hand, attendees can browse his latest collection, ask questions, and experience the artistry and intention behind each exquisite piece.
