Getaway Mural and Chess Player
Broadway & Merrimon Ave., Asheville, NC at 1-240 Bridges
10,000 Buddhas Project
29 Broadway St, Asheville, NC, 28801- painted right outside of one of Asheville’s popular bars- Social Lounge
While walking up Broadway street its hard to miss the beautiful array of calming colors that make up this Buddha mural. This painting was created by Artis and yoga teacher Amanda Giacomini as part of a challenge to paint 10,000 buddhas around the world. We are so happy that Asheville made the cut! Just the the right of the building there is a single painting of buddha holding his hands in a peaceful mudra.
Book your stay with us and let us know how many Buddhas you count when you encounter this spiritual mural. 🙂
Lionel Richie
101 Biltmore Ave., Asheville, NC 28801.
Painted just outside of Asheville’s most popular music venues- The Orange Peel!
Lionel Richie performed at the original Orange Peel in 1970 while he was in the band Commodores . So as a tribute to his performance many years ago, one of Ashevilles local artists- Gus Cutty decided to bring him to life at the current Orange Peel venue!
Don’t forget to go see Lionel and take a photograph with him!
