Art and Culture in Asheville

"Asheville is home to a number of public art pieces including the “Energy Loop,” the Deco Gecko in Pritchard Park, a life-size bronze statue of Martin Luther King, Jr. in MLK Park, “Relax” in Pack Square Park, and quite a few murals along the walls of City Hall. To see them all, or just visit select installations, the city has organized and published a map of what it calls the “Urban Trail” as a part of the Public Art Master Plan. Stringing together 30 sculptures and other works, the trail retraces some of Asheville’s most colorful historical characters which include F. Scott Fitzgerald, Thomas Wolfe, and George Vanderbilt." - MATADOR_NETWORK

A great urban walk that connects nature and city life. This trail is perfect for an easy, relaxing walk. It’s clean, safe, and well-maintained, with plenty of interesting stops along the way — murals, small parks, and bits of Asheville’s creative spirit everywhere you look. It’s an excellent option for walking, running, or simply clearing your mind while enjoying a blend of art and nature. You don’t need hiking experience to enjoy it just comfortable shoes and a bit of curiosity. A beautiful reminder of how a city can celebrate its culture through simple, accessible outdoor spaces.

The official website to do the urban trail maybe a little off but this is the best way to explore Asheville downtown. We enjoyed exploring the shops in between stops.

The scavenger hunt was pretty cool. I got turned around a lot because I wasn't familiar with the area at all. But was really cool to see all these little stops and learn about the history here. Favorite stop would have to be #11 with all the signatures in the guest book.

Fun walking tour! I just wish they had an app so it would’ve been easier to listen and walk using the interactive map. It’s great if you just want to get acquainted with downtown Asheville.

Great walk around Asheville. We found some pretty cool hidden gems (restaurants and shops and artwork) as we walked the trail and even learned a bit about the history of Asheville.

I love the Urban trail although it wasn't really clear where to begin and end. But it's a nice way to get to know the city and shop. :)

I’m still on the hunt for a few of the stations! Where is O. Henry’s “After Twenty Years” pocket watch sculpture?
