- Odyssey Co-op Gallery, located in the River Arts District of Asheville, NC, features 23 local clay artists who produce functional pottery as well as ceramic art in the form of wall art pieces and sculpture. Each piece on display in our gallery is ready to go home with you to enrich your life. The gallery also sells the work of many other talented ceramic artists who rent studio space in Odyssey Studios, which are adjacent to the gallery. Among the beautiful works in our gallery are those by artists whose work is on display in other galleries across the U.S. and abroad. A number of our artists teach or have taught ceramic art. The diversity of our offerings is striking, and many visitors to the gallery comment on the extremely high quality of our ceramic art. Our gallery is a cooperative and is run completely by our artist members. We do everything from managing gallery sales, marketing, answering inquiries to sweeping the floor! When you engage with the gallery, you are interacting with one of our artist members. We hope you'll come and visit us, and maybe take a piece of Odyssey and the mountains of western North Carolina home with you.
