An amazing selection of local art on display that you could buy, from paintings of Asheville and Nature, to abstract and modern paintings, sculptures and vases to various other crafts, there is something for everyone. The prices are very reasonable ($20-$3000, with most around $50) and we ended up buying 4 art works.
They have two floors and have a great cafe inside as well. Strongly recommend visiting.

A blast from the past, with a very interesting local art display. Local artists show their talents of beautiful creative works of art from picture sculptures, mobiles, tile work to custom soaps and perfumes. Big verity of creative goods.
Then there is old time lunch counter with lots of the original food fair from the 50s to 80s, including malts and shakes and egg creams and phosphates, if you don't know what those are, you should give them a try. The build and surrounding architecture is terrific to see.

Guess we came in during shift change got a sweet treat and a bottle of pop well the best thing about a bottle of coke one it use to taste different and it had to be ice cold well i know now they had just stocked the cooler and the person taking and getting order didn't think about the just stocked coke would be hot so i then asked for a cup of ice it just killed it was like watered down fountain pop lol guess cause i was so anticipating the taste well i can't go back in time and fix that one oh well maybe next time oh and also he didn't tell me all they had was Mexican coke so that's different as well i think everyone was getting ready to leave cause from the reviews which is why we came in this isn't normal

Woolworth walk was nice to walk through and peak at the art, but that’s pretty much it. Unless you’re going in with the intention of buying art, it should only take 20 minutes or so to walk through.
Additionally, the “Restored” soda fountain was a bit of a let down. They have malts which is great, but it isn’t really a “soda fountain”. There is no old school soda fountian, just a typical soda machine you’d find anywhere.

The nostalgic Woolworth Lunch Counter is a fantastic place to sit down and order a bite to eat and an ice cream treat!
There are artist works displayed both in the first and basement levels of the venue.

This is a gem… History art architecture and more. I’m so glad it has been preserved. I just wished the lunch counter would’ve been open when I was there.

I was giving visiting friends a tour of our beloved city, when one of them found the galleries in the old Woolworth's building. I hadn't been in there before, but was pleasantly surprised by not just the quality of many artist's works, but also the prices, which I found to be reasonable. Both the main floor and basement have been turned into small display areas for (maybe 150 local artists). My fave display was the HD with a wooden gas tank and fenders. It was Beautiful. Of course it can't be ridden like that, but all that chrome and polished wood was a nice homage to murdersickle riders everywhere. There is also an old fashion ice cream shop on the first floor.

An old Woolworth that has been kept alive as an art gallery. Inside is a small soda fountain as a nod to the old Woolworths.

Neat place in a former department store. Dozens of artist booths and a rehabed soda fountain. Great way

Fabulous. There were four of us for lunch. Everyone loved their food. Plates were left empty. It was great. Can't wait to return.

This location is everything. I’m from out of state. Going to this town was the best experience. Gave me rustic artsy vibes and I’m all for it. The gallery made it so much better. My boyfriend and I are art people and all the art there was great and different. I definitely recommend it. Also head over to the coke bar and get an old fashion malt.
