Asheville is a place with a deep but constantly evolving arts and cultural heritage. The City of Asheville’s Cultural Arts Division is dedicated to supporting the crucial role art and heritage play in our inquisitive and creative community.
With the addition of the Cultural Arts Division to its Parks and Recreation Department, the City of Asheville confirmed its commitment to supporting and enhancing the arts in Asheville. The division supports a creative community by enriching and encouraging a healthy mind through exposure to art and ideas which hand-in-hand with the department’s philosophy of fostering physical health by providing parks and recreational opportunities.
The Cultural Arts Division oversees some of Asheville’s already well known and popular festivals, including the widely attended Bele Chere Festival, as well as the nationally-accredited WNC Nature Center. Recently, the division has expanded its reach with new initiatives like Easel Rider – Asheville’s Mobile Art Lab and smART Space, enhancing its interaction with artists and the community.
