Upstairs Artspace is a 3,000 sq. ft. contemporary non-profit art gallery in Tryon, NC. We exhibit two- and three-dimensional fine art and craft by leading artists from the Carolinas and the Southeast, and sometimes other parts of the US, in three gallery spaces.
​
The Gallery has a long-standing reputation for art that is of the highest quality, can be avant-garde, and is always collectible. Many artists are established in their careers, but we also look for emerging artists making fresh, innovative, and provocative art.
​
The exhibits, developed by an Exhibits Committee and guest curators, change every six weeks and often focus on a theme.
Celebrating 45 years, Upstairs Artspace is an integral part of Tryon’s venerable art history and is a force in the contemporary art scene.
