It’s where the creative spirit of Asheville thrives and where you’ll find the greatest concentration of higher end galleries at wholesale. Multiple studios and galleries are housed in the Wedge building above the Wedge brewery, which has fantastic craft beer on the ground floor.  2 blocks from the Wedge studios don’t miss St. Clair Art:  Steve St Clair paints commissioned works with a technique called Dialuminism, a new form of Impressionism. He and/or his wife Joy are often on site and available.  Summit Coffee nearby is an exceptional barista, with free WiFi.  For lunch: 12 Bones BarBQ is ‘rub it in your hair’ wonderful; the Obamas stopped here for lunch.
