Perfect spot for baby shower!

- Emily F

I had my daughter‘s baby shower here over a weekend on a Saturday. Parking was easier than I figured and I have to say that Heather and Margaret make everything so seamless in arranging this event. They worked with me on everything and they were so kind and sweet. The studio is such the perfect place to have an event. This is also where my son gets his photos done for his children. I highly recommend this place for any kind of event you’re going to have.

I cannot say enough good things about UpMarket Gallery! We needed a meeting space for a span of multiples days and long hours and I was so happy to come across UpMarket Gallery. Heather and Margaret were over the top accommodating for our team and made the week a tremendous success. The conference room and upstairs space was perfect for our corporate retreat. The price was very reasonable and the value was absolutely there. It had all of the hookups and outlets we needed for our meetings. Having access to their kitchen throughout the week was also incredibly helpful as we needed to bring in meals and snacks. Even better was the proximity to hotels, coffee shops, lunch spots and everything else our group needed. If you're looking for a meeting space in downtown Asheville, reach out to the UpMarket team ASAP! We will definitely be contacting them for future meeting needs.

We had our son's rehearsal dinner at the Up Market Gallery last weekend. What a wonderful experience at this superb venue. Heather was fantastic! She guided us the whole journey and was so helpful with the planning and set up. The art gallery was the perfect place for our family and guests to unwind and mingle. The gallery layout was perfect for the social hour and then the meal itself. Our family and friends were so impressed and pleased with the accommodations. Highly recommend this very unique and lovely venue to host your rehearsal dinner, wedding reception or other special event. It was simply outstanding in every detail!

Upmarket Gallery is well lit, beautifully curated gallery and event space. I’m an events producer who is having an event there this Sunday, Heather is the galleryist and she has been more than gracious in helping me put this dinner event together. Plus! Dog and pony show is a retail shop connected to the gallery and it has original works of art from her and local artists for home decor! Best part is, it’s conveniently located centrally in downtown Asheville with plenty of street parking and walkable to other shops in the area. Check this place out!

We recently organized a pre-wedding celebration for our daughter, attended by family and friends, and we were thoroughly impressed. The venue, UpMarket Gallery, is ideally situated near the vibrant activities of Asheville and numerous dining options. It boasts a wonderful atmosphere, is impeccably clean, stylish, and spacious enough for dancing, dining, and socializing, making it suitable for any event. The owners, whose names I would gladly mention, were a delight to collaborate with. They consistently displayed warmth, were accommodating, and provided invaluable assistance, including help with additional parking, ensuring that everything proceeded seamlessly from beginning to end. The venue is equipped with a quality sound system, excellent lighting, a generously sized kitchen, well-maintained restrooms, and a meeting room. In summary, UpMarket Gallery surpassed all of our expectations.

I love Upmarket Gallery.and Dog and Pony Show. Now I can say I loved taking a printmaking class there. The space is one of the most light filled and beautiful places to learn. Heather Davis is a generous host and artist in her own right.

I’ve just finished taking a wonderful printmaking class with Jeffrey Hirst at the UpMarket Gallery. The venue was absolutely lovely - a light filled studio with an additional room for lunches and a slide presentation and a full, professional kitchen. . The owner, Heather, went above and beyond with a pre-class get together, drinks and snacks, preparations so we could freely make a mess while we worked and numerous accommodations to ensure we all had a wonderful, five star experience.

We recently hosted a 70th Birthday party for my mother and uncle and we could not have been more impressed. From the moment we walked in, the ambiance was perfect, stylish, spacious, and versatile enough to suit any type of event. Heather and Margret were incredibly attentive and accommodating, ensuring everything went smoothly from start to finish. The venue itself was immaculately cleaned and well- organized, with plenty of space for dancing, eating and socializing. Heather created a play list from my request and the sound system was top- notch and the lighting set the mood beautifully . We had access to a full kitchen which made food prep seamlessly. The venue had plenty of restrooms and rooms that could be used away from the party. Overall, UpMarket exceeded all of our expectations, It is clear that you all have mastered hosting memorable events, and I highly recommend it for anyone looking for a venue that combines elegance, convenience and fantastic service. Thank you again for making my Mother`s 70th Birthday one to remember.
