about us
Flood Gallery Fine Art is a non-profit contemporary art organization dedicated to bringing excellent, provocative art to Asheville from artists working around the world. We seek out art that is provocative, challenging, daring, relevant, and important. We believe that there are great things happening in the world of art, and we want to bring those things to Asheville. We want to put a thumbtack on the map of the Art World. In our first three years, we showed works by artists working in Los Angeles, Prague, New York, Georgia, Florida and here in Asheville. In our fourth year, we hope to bring fully-funded exhibition and residency programs for professional working artists from around the world.
