Connect with local makers! Join us on Saturday, August 12, from 12-5pm for our Open Studio Art Tour. During this event, participating resident artists at Grovewood Village will open up their studios to the public, allowing visitors to gain insight into their creative process and view their most recent works. Tours are free and self-guided.

Grovewood Village is home to 8 working artist studios occupied by 10 local makers. These workspaces were originally built to house the weaving operations of Biltmore Industries, an Arts and Crafts enterprise that played a significant role in the Appalachian Craft Revival during the early 20th century.

Today, our resident artists – inspired by an earlier craft force – create jewelry, pottery, sculpture, and more in the same workshops where the famed Biltmore Handwoven Homespun was once made.

Participating Artists

Chris Abell – Wooden Flutes & Whistles
