The River Arts District (RAD) is the eclectic hub of the city of Asheville. It is a representation of the city’s past and present, where old factories, graffiti, art, bbq and picturesque views come together. RAD has evolved over the past 20 years and grown into a home for the many artists, artisans and merchants of Asheville.
