TAKE A TOUR, CLICK ON THE ARROW ON THE PICTURE ABOVE.

This video from you tube shows Asheville as it is, a little gem in the Blue Ridge Mountains.  The blue haze is really blue.  This is also the town near where "The Hunger Games" was filmed, as well as, the Last of the Mohegan's with Daniel Day Lewis, was filmed.  Fine crafts abound in this city and region.  I thought this would give you a little taste of this area.

Blue Spiral/Asheville

Blue Spiral Gallery/Asheville, North Carolina

Asheville is a center of fine crafts in the South Eastern United States. It is the host to the Highlands Crafts Fair which will be held starting October 20th. If you love arts and crafts this is a wonderful show with fine artist of great talent.

The Blue Spiral carries find crafts, but also supports painting, sculpture, printing and many other areas of art. There is always a discussion of where craft leaves off and fine art begins. It would be interesting to hear every one's opinion. I think carrying all arts makes the city stronger and attracts a wider audience of viewers.

Blue Spiral/Asheville

Blue Spiral Gallery is one of the largest in the South East. It three full floors of art. The gallery carries sculpture, paintings, mixed media, glass and pottery. The gallery carries a body of artist they represent and then integrate new artist and special shows. It is refreshing in a town of craft galleries and nature painting to find something different. It is one of my favorite stops when I am in Asheville. Here are some photo's to give you an idea of the huge amount of gallery space they have and the range of art they carry.

The mountains are a bit hard on internet connections and uploading. When I get to the low country, I will post more of the Blue Spiral Gallery and its current collection. Today is a leaving and driving day. Closing up, packing the car, getting Da Vinci set for the trip, and driving. I wish you all a good day and I will update more of the Asheville trip when I have better internet connections.
