The Ariel Contemporary Craft Cooperative was formed by 20 local artists in 1999. In 2002, the Cooperative opened the Ariel Gallery at 46 Haywood Street in downtown Asheville. The gallery is staffed by its members, who have a firsthand knowledge of their own work as well as the work of their fellow artists. In addition to working in the gallery, all members also serve on one of the committees which keep the business running, including executive, bookkeeping, advertising, maintenance, display and special events.
