Showcasing the local talent of North Carolina’s Yancey and Mitchell County artists since 1992, the Toe River Arts Studio Tour is a must-visit for art enthusiasts. All of the artists featured have a fascinating story, interesting background, and their own “Journey of the Arts.” This weekend-long event is a place for local artists to share their work, process, and studio spaces, as well as the work that comes out of their studios. Take the opportunity to travel a bit further away from the beach and see what our neighbors are creating. Toe River Arts, 102 W Main St. Friday-Sunday, 10:30 a.m.-5 p.m. Free.
