The Weaverville Art Safari was formed in April 2001, through the joint efforts of local artists and owners of area Bed and Breakfasts.

Weaverville, approximately 20 minutes north of the widely known art destination of Asheville, North Carolina, is the home and workplace of many of the area artists. The core activities of the Weaverville Art Safari are self-guided tours of the various artists' studios, tucked away in the countryside communities of Weaverville, Barnardsville, and Alexander.

The self-guided studio tours are held the last full weekend in April and the first full weekend in November, coinciding with the beautiful spring and fall seasons in the magnificent Blue Ridge Mountains of Western North Carolina. The tours are free and open to the public, and some artists' studios are open year-round by appointment. So come join us, and take home a trophy from North Carolina's creative frontier.
