LEAF Global Arts is a nonprofit music, arts, and cultural center in downtown Asheville's historic Block district, housed in the renovated Del Cardo building. The space combines a museum, performance room, and classrooms into one venue dedicated to global music traditions, Black cultural heritage in Asheville, and hands-on arts education. Open Wednesday through Saturday by reservation, with rotating exhibits and live world music.

Locals describe LEAF as one of the most intentional cultural spaces in Asheville, where a Saturday visit can mean a drum workshop, a live performance, and a curated exhibit in one stop. Visitors repeatedly mention the world-instrument petting zoo and the Easel Rider Art Bar as the features that surprise first-timers most.
