“My wife and I made a trip to Asheville for our 40th anniversary celebration. Lexington Glassworks was on our list of things to do. You will not be disappointed!! Awesome group of people and unbelievably talented! I could have sat there and watched the glass blowers all day. We picked out a few pieces to commemorate our trip and anniversary. All have found prominent spots in our home and we love each piece. Mine favorite is the hand blown whiskey glass and somehow it just makes whatever it holds taste better!!”
“The space is stunning, the artwork is amazing, and the people who own it are friendly and approachable. This gallery sells fine art. The art is beautiful and interesting. While I haven’t bought anything yet, I’ve always felt welcomed. It genuinely feels like a museum in the fact that it’s not crowded with a bunch of art for sale. Each piece is given its space. The owners are very knowledgeable about the art. They’re happy to talk about the art. It just feels wonderful in there, and is an asset to our city. If you are just visiting Asheville, you should stop by this gallery. If you live in Asheville and like fine art, by all means, you should go downtown and check it out.”

“Very wide cross-section of local artists work. Something for all tastes. Very open and easy to navigate through such a large building. Really appreciated the website that allowed me to roam all the corridors and actually check out individual artists areas.”
“Whenever we go to Asheville (we live about an hour and a half away)- whether its a concert, big event or visiting friends, we ALWAYS stop in to this store. I stock up on Christmas presents, birthday gifts, just- cuz gifts and we have even decorated our nursery with items from here. The pricing is BEYOND reasonable, you can see the forethought in the curation of art from the selection process to display in the store.
We have been patrons here for 6 plus years and I can honestly say, this store would bankrupt me if I lived closer. It feels like a great representation of the variety of artists/subject matters/mediums/culture of the city.”
“Such a cool find!! Happily stumbled upon this store while on vacation and was so pleased with all the cool finds. Many different local and handmade works owned by different artists and stores all wrapped in one! Must stop in if you’re in town. My favorite was these cute planters- I had to have one”
“Exceptional Care, Artistry, and Integrity! I cannot recommend Blackbird Frame & Art highly enough. I recently brought in three pieces of art that hold immense sentimental value to me—watercolors painted by my late uncle back in the 1970s. From the moment I walked in, Elizabeth Boswell handled the entire experience with the utmost kindness, respect, and professionalism.
For the first two watercolors, Elizabeth helped me select new frames and mats. She has an incredible eye for detail; the colors she suggested were absolutely perfect. They beautifully complement the artwork without overpowering it, truly honoring and maintaining the vision of my late uncle.
The third piece was already framed but was physically coming apart. Elizabeth carefully repaired the structure and upgraded it with UV protective glass to ensure the painting is preserved for generations to come. She was so gentle and meticulous with these precious family pieces.
The final results are stunning. If you have artwork that needs a master touch—especially pieces that hold deep personal meaning—do yourself a favor and ask for Elizabeth at Blackbird. They are true preservationists and artists in their own right!”
“New Morning Gallery is one of those places that makes browsing feel like part of the fun. The space is larger than it first appears, with room after room of handmade art that really does seem to go on and on. You will find everything from jewelry and glass to ceramics, furniture, and small gifts, with pieces at a wide range of prices so it works whether you are looking for something special or just a small souvenir.
What stands out is how thoughtfully everything is curated. The work comes from American artists and feels both creative and usable, not just decorative. It is the kind of place where you can wander and keep spotting things you did not notice at first. We have decorated our own home with several pieces from here over the years, and they are still some of our favorites.
On our most recent trip, we found the perfect purple ceramic bowl for my mom, her favorite color, and it turned out to be a gift she truly loved. She has happily made it the centerpiece of her dining room table, which says a lot about both the piece and the gallery. The staff made the experience easy and pleasant, being friendly and helpful without hovering.
When you are visiting Asheville or looking for something special for your home, New Morning Gallery is a special, one of a kind place to find it.”
“When downtown or especially when folks are visiting from out of town, this is a spot I love to spend a good hour or two admiring, and often purchasing, the 175 artists’ work. There’s also a restored ice cream/soda counter which makes strolling this historic building it even more fun! One of my favorite places in the city!”
“River Arts District is a great place to walk around and see all of the amazing art. There are so many pottery artists with a wide breath of styles to choose from and to admire.”
“Wanted to have a birthday experience with a friend. The 1 on 1 lessons are totally worth it. Helpful Instructor and our pieces are great, for a couple amateurs! (if we do say so ourselves)
They fire and glaze for you, but have quite a few types of classes and workshops, and pieces for sale if that what you want. Check em out. Parking stinks but it's Asheville, walking is the way if you can.”
“This place is full of amazing wood creations. Mark, the owner, seemed to take great pride in the gallery and artists represented. We found some great gifts to bring home and would have loved to get more, but alas, we couldn't travel with it home to FL on this trip. We will be back next time we're in town. Pricing seemed reasonable and quality was excellent.”
“An adventure! Pottery and glass from a group of local artists representing a full range of style and technique. Friendly, fairly priced and, again supporting local artists.”
“Alexandria, Anthony, Shawn, Donovan, David, are all laborers of Love. It's been a pleasure to get to know them so far and I look forward to the future. ??”
“Find this place if you love art. It is nestled in the River Arts District. i came last Christmas and went to
the gallery and was amazed. by the collective arts of several artists in here.
i purchased a two day workshop in encaustic painting for myself and a friend with Bridget Benton.
it was amazing!
The workshop came with all the tools and supplies needed and each workspace was completely set up. Bridget is an experienced artist and instructor. Her handouts were well organized and the materials were top quality.
I enjoyed the small classroom size of 5 students which provided for 1:1 instruction and we could see other students work. Everyone was happy with their work.”
“Only there to check out the river, murals, graffiti, and artwork. It was very peaceful, and the people I encountered were friendly. Would love to go back during the weekend when it's busier to eat and gang out”

“Susan is so patient, creative and thoughtful in her design process. You must stop in and see the beauty she creates with rings, earrings and necklaces - you will not be disappointed!”
“Wonderful gallery with a wide range of beautiful handmade works of art, some for displaying, and some that are functional. You can find everything from wall art, pottery, and wood turned bowls to fine handmade heirloom furniture. Make sure not to miss the free car museum and fabric weaving museums in adjacent buildings.”
“A great place to see a variety of artists at work with their pieces for sale. Potters, painters, jewelers, clothiers, glass blowers - all in one block. Much talent here catering to a variety of tastes.”
“Daniel is so talented, and this beautiful three-floor gallery space is a real testament to that talent! We really enjoyed getting to talk to him about his process - he is a true artist and also an incredible down to earth, friendly and smart person. We hope to be able to commission a painting from him someday!”
“This little shop is so cute! The woman working behind the counter, Jackie, was so incredibly sweet as she helped me around the store and chatted with me a bit. I bought a very pretty Gingko leaf hair accessory and they had an assortment of other handmade, local goods! So so awesome! Check this place out :D”
“Wonderful folks working here and interesting work. I left feeling inspired and creatively invigorated for the new year. Will definitely be back in to enjoy the book collection.”
“The Gallery of the Mountains is located in the Omni Grove Park Hotel. It is in the hallway on your way to the Sammons wing. The Gallery showcases the work of area artists. I liked how there were pieces in all price ranges.
This gallery is smaller than the Grovewood Gallery and the items at each were different. I liked that most of the pieces had a little story to go with it about the artist. I saw some jewelry, pottery, glass, scarves, paintings, note cards, among other items.
The service was very friendly, and I was there near closing time. My items were packaged nicely too!
If you are looking for a gift for someone or yourself, you may find it here.”
“Have known and been working with Alan for over 5 years. His first creation for us was the entry way to our mountain home. He created 9 separate stained glass panels that made up a scene of a tree in the door branching out to side panels with different hues of brown and greens that included a pileated wood pecker and cardinal. The late afternoon sun makes the entry way come alive. Many afternoons I find the best chair and watch the transformation. Alan is a Master Craftsman. His work ranges from small cute sun catchers to detailed, elegant, masterful entry ways and window pieces. His most recent work for us has been the restoration of wrought iron deck end tables that were weathered and worn. He created new table tops with glass encased colorful humming birds. They will elevate and enhance the deck into our outdoor living room. Helene devastated Alan's home and business. His resilience and determination are equaled by his talent and skill. You will never be disappointed.”

“My husband and I got to do the glass blowing experience. It was a lot of fun and something I highly recommend doing when your in town. Max was our instructor and he was amazing. He did great explaining everything and making sure or handmade stuff didn’t look like someone who has never done this before made our cup and paper wait. I can’t wait to come back to do it again the next time we are in town. I also recommend just checking this place out even if you dont have time to do the glass blowing experience. They have some really cool stuff. They definitely have something for everyone.”
