Our organization started in the Asheville region 92 years ago. As the oldest guild in the country, we now represent and sell the work of 900 regional artists.

Escape the hustle of downtown and take a drive up the Parkway to visit the Folk Art Center - there's plenty of parking, a bookstore, a craft shop, two exhibits, a museum, a library, and a hiking trail.
