Flood Mission
Flood Fine Art Center is a non-profit contemporary art institution dedicated to advancing the careers of emerging and mid career artists, as well as educating the public and furthering the understanding of contemporary art and its importance within the community and beyond. We aim to provide a stimulating environment for artists so that they will successively enlighten, challenge, inspire, and elevate awareness for the necessity of art in contemporary culture.
Flood Fine Art Center seeks to be a vital cultural resource for Asheville through providing funding and space for innovative local and national artists as well as curators who stretch boundaries in all media. Through our extensive exhibition schedule, residency program, educational activities, presentations and publications we aim to serve a diverse audience that will in turn enhance quality of life and provide opportunities and experiences that would otherwise be unavailable.
About Us
Art at Flood Gallery
Flood Fine Art Center is a non-profit contemporary art organization dedicated
to bringing excellent, provokative art to Asheville from artists working
around the world. We seek out art that is provacative, challenging, daring,
relevent, 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 year,
we showed works by artists working in Los Angeles, Prague, New York, Florida
and here in Asheville. In our second year, we hope to expand that list
and to expand the scope of art in Asheville.
Special Events
Beyond promoting working artists around the globe, Flood also hosts special
events that promote the arts and encourage community involvement in the
artistic process. Musical performances, workshops, community art projects,
film screenings, and poetry readings are the kinds of events that Flood
Gallery has organized and hosted.
Location
Flood Gallery is located on the second floor of the Phil Mechanic Building,
on the corner of Clingman and Roberts Street(see map),
