If you enjoy art museums, explore the Asheville Art Museum when you visit us at Lovers’ Loop Retreat, our Asheville vacation rental. You can get in for FREE on the first Wednesday of each month, 3-5 p.m. It’s a nice way to get a peek at their collection.
The museum, which is observing its 60th anniversary this year, is in the middle of downtown.
On Aug. 5, we’ll check out the museum’s exhibit of Cherokee wood and stone carvers. Most of the artists represented in the exhibit live at the Cherokee reservation west of Asheville. We’re looking forward to this one because there are some great artisans in the Cherokee tribe.
We went to the museum’s free Wednesday gig on July 1 to catch an exhibit of photographs by George Masa, who took pictures of mountain landscapes around Asheville in the 1920s and 30s. Many of his photos are of Great Smoky Mountains National Park, west of Asheville.
Keep your eyes open, and take advantage of one of the free things to do in Asheville when you visit our Asheville bed and breakfast alternative!
