310 ART Painting Studio
Located in the River Arts District, 310 ART is just two miles from downtown Asheville and Biltmore Estate. It is the oldest and most respected art school for adults in the Asheville area. Select from a big variety of painting classes and lessons, ranging from single day workshops to multi-week series. No experience is necessary! These fun, small classes are taught by 9 local accomplished artists and 3 traveling published artists. Their students travel from throughout the country to attend their classes. They also offer flexible class schedules if you want to sign up for a series. Since they have small classes, book early since they usually sell-out! Perfect for a girlfriends' getaway too.
- Day & weekend workshops in oils, acrylics, watercolor, inks, mixed media, printmaking, encaustic, bookbinding and more are held throughout the year. Find choices for both beginners and advanced students.
