BHTV: Shopping Local at Hot Spots in Asheville, Waynesville, and Hendersonville, NC
Did you know that shopping locally cycles three times more money back into our economy than shopping at national chains? In this edition of BHTV, we show you how you can Live the Life You Choose by shopping locally at one of many unique merchants.
BHTV: Asheville's Small Business Community is Growing #GoLocal:
Community Information: Asheville, NC:
Welcome to this episode of Beverly-Hanks TV, helping you to Live the Life You Choose in Western North Carolina. I am your host, Anne Aldridge, and I am so excited to show you the abundant options there are for shopping locally in Western North Carolina. Today, we're gonna hit the streets of Asheville, Waynesville, and Hendersonville and I'm gonna show you a few of my favorite places.
“My name is April Nance and I'm the public relations manager for the Southern Highland Craft Guild. We represent artists from across the region. We cover nine states from Maryland to Alabama. Artists are living and working in the mountains. And to be in the guild you have to jury into the guild, which means that you have to be the best of the best. So when people shop here, they're shopping regionally, they're shopping in a local place, and they're getting the finest quality crafts that are made in the southeast.”
Crafts make such great gifts because they're creative, handmade, and thoughtful. I need to get out of here before I spend my whole paycheck. Let's head over to Waynesville now to a great little kitchen store we know about on Main Street.
“Home Tech is a kitchen shop located in downtown Waynesville,” says Wendy, the store manager. “We are a family-owned business. We've been around for 17 years now. And we really enjoy being part of the Waynesville downtown community. The people here are really supportive of our local business.”
What a great little kitchen store Home Tech is in downtown Waynesville. There are so many neat places right here on Main Street, but this is one of my favorites. Now let's head over to Hendersonville to a wonderful little toy store.
“I'm Erika, I'm one of the owners of Dancing Bear Toys. We've been in business for about 20 years. We think it's a lot of fun to be in small business because we can support our community and watch kids in the area grow up.”
“My name is Lew Holloway, I'm the Main Street Director with the city of Hendersonville, and work with the merchants and business owners of historic downtown Hendersonville. We have a variety of over 70 unique retailers in downtown Hendersonville, like Dancing Bear Toys, one of our long-time favorites and certainly very popular amongst our downtown visitors. Visionary city leaders opted to serpentine the street, and we now have an extremely pedestrian friendly location for you to come and enjoy both the local businesses, local restaurants, and all the things that come along with that.”
Thank you so much for joining us. Whether you're buying a gift or something for yourself, the options for shopping locally in Western North Carolina will blow you away. To learn more about living here, contact your Beverly-Hanks associate, or go to beverly-hanks.com.

BHTV: Supporting Local Arts with HandMade In America:
BHTV: The Impact of Art Galleries in WNC:
- [Ann] We are so fortunate to live in a place that truly appreciates and supports the arts, and has such a creative spirit. As Georgia O'Keeffe said, I found I could say things in colors and shapes that I can say no other way. Things I have no words for. Today we are at the Asheville Art Museum to take an inside look and talk about their exciting new expansion. The museum is based in Asheville, but it's reach goes so much farther into Western North Carolina.
- [Pam] The museum collects American art of the 20th century, but we have a sub-focus on art of particular importance to Western North Carolina. So that if you're a visitor to the museum, or a resident of Western North Carolina, anytime you come you'll see work like this, by Josef Albers, who is a very important figure here, in the mid 20th century. And you'll also see work by other artists who've lived and worked here over the century. At the same time you'll see important works of American art from around the country that are internationally acclaimed as part of the American aesthetic development in this time period.
- [Pam] We have over 100,000 participants in our programs, and we have 12 or 15 exhibitions a year, and over 200 programs for people of all ages. Visitors come from all 50 states, from throughout 24 counties we serve in Western North Carolina, and from many, many places abroad.
- [Ann] We are with Kathleen Glass, the communications manager of the Asheville Art Museum. Kathleen, I know you just recently moved to Asheville from Macon, Georgia. What made you choose Asheville over anywhere else that you could have moved?
- Well as I mentioned to you earlier, with a background in arts administration I really wanted to find a great arts community and museum to be a part of in the southeast, and of all the places that I could've looked whether it was Atlanta, or Savannah, Asheville really stood out to me as a very unique community in that it's small, it has an incredibly thriving art scene, from your commercial galleries, to this wonderful museum that we have here. And the Asheville Art Museum is really unique in that it serves 24 counties, as the only visual arts, major visual arts institution in this entire region. So it's really more than just Asheville it's the entire region. So that was the major appeal for me.
- [Ann] You mention that the museum is only able to display about three percent of the permanent collection right now, and that the programming that you have is just filled to the brim. What is the expansion gonna enable you to do once that takes place?
- It's really exciting Ann, we're gonna be able to show probably two and a half times as much of the permanent collection at any given time, we're going to have changing exhibition spaces where we can bring in major traveling exhibitions or create our own. We're gonna have new spaces for public programming for kids, and for school groups, and for adult programs of all kinds, we're gonna have a new space for a film and video. Really, really exciting there will be a rooftop sculpture terrace, and cafe for that late in the day glass of wine looking at the mountains.

Downtown Asheville is today a booming central business district, exploding with commerce, dining, art, and entertainment—offering you myriad opportunities to Live the Life You Choose.

BHTV: Asheville Parks, Part 1 – City Parks:
BHTV: A Tour of the Asheville Art Museum:
“Downtown, in my opinion, is vibrant,” says Clayton, a resident of downtown Asheville, NC. “It’s tiny—you can walk from one end to the other in about a half an hour. And you know the old real estate term “location, location, location”—I mean, that’s it!”
“I can walk out my front door and there’s over 100 restaurants downtown,” says Clayton. “Music venues, the art museum—they’re all available to us. There’s just so much happening here. I don’t think there’s another city like it. It’s amazing.”
“If you live downtown, you live in a condo,” says Clayton. “And we have them downtown. We have old historic and we have new. There’s not one like the other one. They’re all different. It’s a wonderful place to be.”
“We’ve learned a lot about what the condominium market in downtown Asheville is all about and what the typical buyer’s looking for,” says Peter Alberice of Alberice Architecture + Design, architect of the 12 South Lexington Avenue and 45 Asheland Avenue condo buildings. “That includes adequate storage, secure parking, balconies, and a rooftop amenity space that has an inside clubroom and outside viewing area to the mountains beyond.”
“The next growth area in downtown Asheville will be the South Slope,” says Alberice. “The city has targeted that as the next area that they see as being developed in downtown. It is very convenient to not only the Central Business District and the heart of downtown. It’s also very close to the River Arts District. It’s ideally located between a lot of different amenities that make up the desirability of being in downtown Asheville.”

Why do families who experience a Cherokee area vacation never venture anywhere else? Because Cherokee is at the heart of a four state mountain paradise with thousands of attractions. More than you can see and do in a week, a month or a year, but a lifetime of fascinating natural splendors wrapped in the three most treasured brands of hospitality on Earth … Native American hospitality, Southern hospitality and Mountain hospitality.
The beautiful town of Cherokee is anchored by the world-class accommodations and games of Harrah’s Cherokee Casino, but beyond the tables, suites and eclectic cuisine are three thousand waterfalls and hundreds of historic sites wrapped in mountains more than a million years old.

BHTV: The Impact of Art Galleries in WNC
From Asheville's River Arts District to Main Street Weaverville, to Marshall High Studios and Downtown Marshall, burgeoning art scenes have rejuvenated Western North Carolina towns. These art spaces add new life and sense of identity to our neighborhoods, acting as magnets for tourists and property owners alike.

BHTV: A Tour of the Asheville Art Museum:
Art impacts how we perceive and interpret culture. And for many of our mountain communities, the arts have often led the way with revitalization of main streets and town centers. Art galleries and related retail outlets are some of the most common businesses found in our thriving main street areas.
“When I opened Art Mob Studios four years ago, the art scene in Hendersonville was three galleries,” says Michelle Sparks, owner of Art Mob Studios & Marketplace. “And we really love how Hendersonville has embraced the art community and helped us to grow a whole lot. We are now up to over 13 different types of galleries in Hendersonville. And with the influx of all of the different galleries, I really feel like Hendersonville is becoming an art destination.”
Western North Carolina's many galleries have created exciting downtown destinations for artists and art lovers alike.
“This area inspires so many people to come here,” says Carrie Keith, owner of Twigs & Leaves Gallery. “First of all, they love the quaintness of Downtown Waynesville. We have so many wonderful shops and galleries and restaurants. And then we're surrounded by these gorgeous mountains. All of the galleries of Downtown Waynesville bring a tremendous amount to the community. We have all this terrific talent that people are attracted to and so they come to this area to see all of the artwork.”
With $2 billion and new investment in main streets, 18,000 new jobs, and the opening of 4,700 new businesses over the last 33 years, the state of North Carolina has been dedicated to revitalizing downtowns. During a time when the arts are often the first budget item to be cut, the growth of successful arts districts and urban centers demonstrates that investing in creative and artistic ventures is a proven way to revitalize our communities. Art galleries are a central piece of this trend. And as Western North Carolina continues to grow, the arts will play a vital role in creating and expanding the many ways to Live the Life You Choose.
For more information on galleries and the arts in Western North Carolina, contact your Beverly-Hanks associate or visit beverly-hanks.com.
