About Asheville Art Museum
The Asheville Art Museum was founded in 1948 by a group of artists to champion the creativity of Western North Carolina (WNC) by bringing regional art into dialogue with works of national significance, exploring their mutual influences. Through generations of experienced and dedicated volunteer and professional leadership, the Museum continues to realize its mission: to engage, enlighten, and inspire individuals and enrich community through dynamic experiences in American art of the 20th and 21st centuries.
