2008 Asheville Visitor Guide - Any Way You Like It - (Page 14) creative climate sights and sounds You’re walking down the street, and you hear the strains of live music through an open doorway. Or, you head out for coffee and stop to admire the art objects that glimmer in a store window. Your choices can range from an Asheville Symphony Orchestra concert to a poetry reading, a gallery stroll to a Shakespearean performance. The area’s artistry is evident nearly everywhere you look, and you just can’t help but be amazed – and inspired – by this creative climate. Expect to be enthralled at any performance at the Diana Wortham Theatre. Located at Pack Square, this intimate, 500-seat theater presents music, theater and dance. You’ll find more live productions and experimental theater at North Carolina Stage Company, Asheville Community Theatre and Flat Rock Playhouse. The ever-growing assortment of Americana found at the Asheville Art Museum provides another sort of thrill. Both its permanent collection and traveling exhibitions offer visual relief, and you won’t want to miss the film screenings and other museum happenings. 5 “No.25in America’s Top Arts Destinations.
