For me, this is the Asheville i came to discover and is a mini indoor art faire with so much to choose from. The same people create and run a twice yearly art faire called THE BIG CRAFTY that must be seen to fully appreciate!

There was still pieces that I had already painted years ago. I hope they get different pieces because I made a reservation and I didn't even paint because I already had everything. Very disappointing. Staff was nice and atmosphere was really laid back!

First time ordering from this place. I received my case of Simax glass tubes today. While UPS got…read moresome funky stuff on the end of the box the tubes were surprisingly unbroken. The box they shipped was pretty large but when I cut it open and seen how well it was packed my fears went right out the window. Do not be afraid to order glass tubes from these people. Side note even if the tubes would have been broken it would not have really mattered as long as they were not totally shattered for my use. If I run out I know where my next order is coming from.

Many of the artists were present and available. The main person I was there to see wasn't there because she was at a festival. She designs the Ukrainian eggs. Wow is she talented! She also shared space with an artist that we bought several items from. If you like local art then this place is great. You are likely to find something you will want and hopefully buy. Highly recommended. We will be back.

Nice shop! Welcoming, and filled with quality, interesting, and vibrant work. I will visit again.read more

Westside Artist Co-Op is a great addition to West Asheville. Downtown is filled with art galleries…read moreand spaces for artists so it's nice to see some local art on the west side. This is a large space filled with tons of locally made artwork. There is everything from jewelry, scarves, paintings, photography and most any other art/crafts you can imagine. This is a great space to decorate your home, to buy gifts, or just to look around for creative inspiration. When I visited, two of the artists were there to greet me and tell me about the gallery. They were very friendly and helpful yet allowed me to stroll through the space alone. I appreciated my experience here and hope to be back soon!

Hands down, this was a complete experience and a must see when visiting Asheville. It is a relic…read morefrom the old days when general stores literally were just that and generally had everything. The place is massive and is located in the major retail and dining section, so park where you can. I went in there specifically for some snacks, but walked out with clothes, food, syrup, honey, and much more. They have multiple registers so it was a fast check out despite this place always appearing to be crowed. Also, they have a basement that looks more like a legit retail/clothing store than a general store and they also had a bunch of antiques around too. I was in awe of the old school cash register. Again, this is a must see and is great for the kids because of the authentic and homemade sweets and treats.

Always love checking out Mast General Stores! This one is a two story store with so many wonderful…read morethings to look at. One nice perk of this location is that it offers one of the only public restrooms available in downtown Asheville. The staff were very kind and the store was looking great.
