This global hub is a must see if you are in Asheville! There are interactive stations that let you listen to music from around the world - click on a spot on the global map and listen in! The historic and modern artwork covering the floors, walls, ceiling, stairways...is amazing. Virtual Reality station takes you wherever you want to visit. Music room, historic maps and posters, kind and informative staff waiting to teach you or just answer questions. Come alone, come with friends, bring your children, etc. See it all in under an hour or spend hours immersed in art and culture...! A treasure in Asheville, for adults and kids alike.

While visiting Asheville my wife and I enjoyed the every Thursday 7-10 jazz jam. First hour was a local trio followed by local musicians sitting in. Great time and vibe. Staff and musicians very much appreciated the attendance. $10 donation suggested for the art center. Enjoy.

My daughter and her friend absolutely LOVED coming here and learning about cultures from all over the world. What a fantastic idea and the artistry and creativity that went into the building and exhibits was stunning. They especially loved the instrument "petting zoo" and could have played there for hours. Thank you LEAF for being a beacon of light and hope, for celebrating and honoring cultural diversity and education!

We ducked inside during an afternoon rainstorm and were greeted warmly. African music, shared stories of world travels and genuine Interest in people demonstrated Leaf Global’s purpose of connecting people and cultures. They offer art activities, summer camps and community outreac towards the goal of educating and sharing about other cultures. Good people working towards a beautiful goal!

Incredible and creative place to visit, especially with kids! Kids were able to explore musical instruments from around the world in the instrument petting zoo! We also did arts and crafts, played games, and enjoyed the art from around the world. A beautiful place. Will definitely visit again. Kelsey was so helpful and encouraged artistic ideas and play throughout our time there. The Director was also super nice!

What a wonderful hands-on experience! We learned so much about the local neighborhood and the rich culture of Asheville.This interactive space allowed our family, especially our teens, to see and hear music from so many places around the world. Our tour guide, Reggiana, was knowledgeable and so fun to be around. Art abounds on every doorway, stairwell and wall. A colorful, vibrant setting to explore for all ages. We can’t wait to go back!

The LEAF Global Arts is a wonderful company with so much to offer! From Festivals, to Workshops, to Kids Programs, and even yearly Retreats. They truly embody what it means to unite cultures, educate young minds, and create community in the WNC area. I can't wait to continue to see what they accomplish and be in support of their mission in any way that I can. The staff is so friendly and hands on with all their programs. They care so much about the environment and experience that they're creating for others!

What an amazing place! Definitely worth your time and energy. It will leave you with a happy and up beat heart. The global center is great for kids and adults. They are very COVID responsible so you can feel safe. A great museum quality interactive experience . Plus a great little gift shop with very cool global and local art. (See fab bag in photo)
