Fine Arts Theatre
What you need to know
Fine Arts Theatre is a downtown Asheville movie house at 36 Biltmore Avenue showing first-run independent, foreign and art films. It opened in 1947 as The Strand, downtown's first-run theater, and now runs a main auditorium and an upstairs screen. Beyond new releases, it hosts classic film nights with an introduction and discussion, recently His Girl Friday and A Matter of Life and Death, plus festival screenings like the Mountain Lights Film Festival. General admission is $11, with $9 matinees before 6 pm and $9 tickets for seniors.
Local's Tip
The upstairs screen has no elevator, so ask which room your film is in if stairs are a problem. Matinees before 6 pm are $9.
What the locals say
Downtown regulars catch the matinees, and the neon marquee on Biltmore Avenue is a favorite night photo.
