North Carolina, settled along the Atlantic coast, is known for its gorgeous shorelines, mountains and rivers. The state-bordered by Virginia, Georgia, South Carolina, Tennessee and, of course, the Atlantic Ocean-is also known for its vivacious arts and cultural scene. From Charlotte to Asheville to Raleigh and more, collectors will find no shortage of galleries, museums and events throughout the Old North State.
Each year in September, Charlotte holds its Festival in the Park at Freedom Park, in which attendees can explore an array of artwork as well as enjoy music, eats and entertainment in the open air. The city is also home to numerous arts institutions in the Uptown district. Among these are Bechtler Museum of Modern Art, Levine Center for the Arts, Mint Museum Uptown and the New Gallery of Modern Art. Undoubtedly, Charlotte's major art hub is the North Davidson (NoDa) neighborhood, a menagerie of art galleries, trinket shops, exceptional dining and more.
Often referred to as the "Smithsonian of the South," Raleigh is a must-see destination for its performing and visual arts, as well as art museums like the North Carolina Museum of Art and numerous local galleries. Hosted by Downtown Raleigh Alliance, First Friday is celebrated on the first Friday of each month at locations throughout downtown Raleigh. Art galleries and studios are open late with rotating exhibits and artist talks.
Among many highlights in the city of Asheville (like the Asheville Art Museum) collectors should certainly explore the vibrant River Arts District, where artists have turned old factories and historical buildings into studios where they work year-round.
Within these studios, visitors and collectors can meet face-to face with artists and learn about their work.
