The opening marks a truly special moment, particularly for artists who have shown incredible resilience in the face of past adversities. The journey to this new beginning has been one of passion and perseverance, and the Village Artist Market stands as a beacon of hope and renewal. The market's tagline is “Celebrating Craftsmanship and Cultivating Beauty.” These incredibly talented individuals didn't just rebuild; they've re-ignited their creative fires to bring something truly extraordinary to Asheville.

"We are so excited to finally open our doors and share this beautiful space with the community," says Naomi Duncan, owner of Village Artist Market. "Our artists have poured their hearts, souls and immense talent into their work, especially after navigating significant challenges. Their spirit is unbreakable. This gallery is a celebration of their resilience, a hub for their creativity, and a heartfelt thank you to a community that understands the power of art. We are all so incredibly grateful for this opportunity and can't wait for everyone to experience the energy and passion within these walls!"
