Book a tour soon for your behind the scenes, insider experience in the River Arts District! The River Arts District of Asheville could easily be the most diverse and concentrated area of artists in the world. I hope we can share this gem with you and specifically what we believe are it's finest facets! Asheville Studio Art Tours is owned and operated by glass artist, John Miguel Almaguer. John has been creating work for his company Almaguer Glass in the heart of the River Arts District for years. John decided to start these tours after seeing an ongoing need for them. There is a lot of mystery to the River Arts District and it can be very confusing to get around at times. He felt Asheville Studio Art Tours would serve as a solution to help visitors in the River Arts District better explore this vast and diverse community of artists and studios. And what better way to explore this special and unique area but by a small intimate guided tour by one of the artists of the district themselves. We look forward to meeting and getting to know you when you come join us on your next tour. Here is a note from the owner/John Almaguer "My heart in making these tours is to give people an enriched experience into the River Arts District. I lived for a time on the Venetian Island in Murano, Italy where about 85 studios on this small island were wholly devoted to glass art. Secrets of glass blowing & sculpting were birthed here. Still, through this experience I realize even more just how special the River Arts District is. The River Arts District has over 160 studios and much more diversity of artists and mediums. This is honestly matched by no other area I know of in the world. This truly is a real center and heart beat of Asheville. This tour is for locals and visitors!"
