Flood Gallery Fine Art Center

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.

Sonic Experience Series

The Sonic Experience Series is an ongoing series of musical performances by artists that have no real venue in Asheville. It is an exploration of the forms of live musical performance that engage thier audience through sheer aural intensity. The Gallery space, with its hard, concrete walls and floors and it's proximity to an active train yard, make it a less than perfect place to hear music, and yet, the space itself seems to lend an element of meaning to the music. Imagine Beethoven performed live with the sounds of engines loading and unloading cars in the background, A Brazilian jazz band using the concrete floor as an instrument, the hollow hum of a sitar reverberating off of the enormous walls: This is a Sonic Experience.
