The River Arts District, or RAD, is one of the trendiest neighborhoods in Asheville -- but it didn’t start out that way. The historic and aging warehouses on the east side of the railroad tracks and along the French Broad River offered up an inviting and affordable option for artists, and many took up residence here to open studios and galleries. Today, the brick and perfunctory warehouses are adorned with vibrant murals and funky outdoor sculptures.
Several events are held in the RAD. Living here means having quick access to the "A Closer Look" event, held the second Saturday of each month from May through December. The historic warehouses along the river really come alive during the Bi-Annual Studio Stroll, one of the region's largest walking tours of art studios and galleries. Demonstrations and hands-on activities take place all weekend. In addition to the galleries and studios, the River Arts District offers a farmers market, several restaurants, bars, and antique stores.
