The Asheville area homes in Biltmore Lake are more than parts of a tight-knit community; they are expressions of century-old values that have withstood the tests of time to contribute to the region’s culture, traditions, and success. The words “craft” and “sustainability” have been in Asheville’s vocabulary for generations and their origins are as old as the mountains in which they reside. From the new Craftsman homes in Biltmore Lake to works of art that date back to the 1800s, Western North Carolina is a gallery for some of the finest artisans and custom homebuilders in the country, and their craft promises to remain an enduring facet of the area’s artistic landscape.
The Folk Art Center, located at milepost 382 on the Blue Ridge Parkway and just minutes from the Biltmore Lake community, is one of Asheville’s highlights when it comes to art. Featuring rotating exhibits, the oldest continuously operating craft shop in the nation, a research library, and a permanent gallery showcasing traditional woodcarving, textiles, basketry, pottery, and more, the Folk Art Center treats visitors to a wide variety of traditional and contemporary work that hails from across Southern Appalachia. Handmade quilts hang from the walls and colorful jewelry and glazed pottery enliven the space and the minds of guests with inspiring ideas for their home art collections and gifts.
Eastern National, a non-profit organization and an educational branch of the National Park Service also operates a visitor’s center in the Folk Arts Center. Featuring outdoor guides, music, and plenty of books, the center is a wonderful introduction to Asheville’s mountains and wildlife.
