Cornbread
We had a chance to head down to Georgia and pick up work from the one and only Cornbread! His work is characterized with bright colors, which are sure to liven up any home as we head into winter. His iconic art style has made him a household name to many and an avidly collected folk artist. Check out his artist page to see our full selection of hot and fresh Cornbread! Just let us know if you see something you don’t want to live without!
American Folk is also listed on Explore Asheville’s “Love Asheville from Afar” page, where you can find a wealth of local businesses that you can support from wherever you are! Just follow that link and you can shop or donate to over 300 local artists, businesses, and organizations. Western North Carolina needs you!
“Local, independent businesses are the heart of the Asheville area – home to growers who are artists and artists whose work grows. Thought leaders and thought provokers, musicians and storytellers, entrepreneurs and educators, foodies and beer lovers, hippies, healers, adventurers, creators and innovators. We craft and brew and paint and carve, handcrafted by real hands. Now, those hands need a helping hand. And a hug.” – Explore Asheville
Our website is full of wonder from a variety of selectively curated contemporary self-taught artists from Texas all the way to Maine: Painters, Whittlers, Carvers & Potters. If you see something you would like to purchase, come on by or reach us by phone 828-281-2134 or email folkart@amerifolk.com

American Folk represents nearly 40 makers with one goal in mind: To expose the world to the creative powers and originality of our artists. Their visions bring life, color, joy and complexity to our gallery and to your home. Self-taught art can range from what is referred to as naive all the way to the exquisitely contemporary. We know these folks and only purchase directly from them. Some have garnered world-wide attention, some are exclusive to American Folk, but all have a unique way of expressing their world & their hearts. We are inspired by them every day…and you can be too!
Phone consultation is available regarding individual pieces that you are interested in. We love to talk about the artworks we present in the gallery! We can ship or hold and offer Curbside Pickup if that feels right. Great care is taken in the wrapping & boxing of the artwork to be shipped, giving you confidence that all aspects of your purchase are handled properly.
We offer Custom Picture Framing for any treasured piece that you would like to proudly preserve and display. All framing is performed right here in our workshop.
Gift Certificates are available in any denomination.
