About

Joan Awake-

Elevated Works by Highly Accomplished Asheville-based Women Artists

Gallery Joan Awake is a platform for exceptional art created by Asheville-based women artists, and stands as a representation of the strength, tenacity, and insight of the female spirit. This is a power based in knowledge and compassionate wisdom. This is a true strength that does not seek to dominate, but to empower and celebrate the beautiful intricacies that make us individuals.

Located in the Upper River Arts District in Asheville, North Carolina, Joan Awake showcases a highly curated selection of works created by women artists, most of whom lost their studios and galleries in Hurricane Helene.

These works have story and meaning. Many implore us to broaden our perceptions and to acknowledge the innate value of the natural world , some implore us to live authentically, others are visual representations of science and nature. All have a relatable and meaningful story. Some works will challenge. Others will comfort. All will reflect the souls and intellect of the women who created them.

We hope to see you soon. Visit us and experience art that reaches you.
