In a city full of art galleries and a region brimming with fine craft artists, Ariel Gallery is a standout.

Owned and operated by the exhibiting artists, this gallery is a premier showcase for original handmade jewelry, ceramics, fiber, glass, woodwork and furniture.

The gallery represents some of Western North Carolina’s foremost nationally recognized artists. Since 2002, Ariel Gallery has provided a unique opportunity for the public to view and purchase work directly from these local artists. In 2008, Ariel Gallery moved to its current location at 19 Biltmore Ave, and has become a mainstay of the Downtown Asheville Arts District.

Because Ariel is an artist owned gallery, visitors can look forward to the distinctive experience of meeting at least one of the artists on any given day.
