Nestled in the heart of downtown Saluda, North Carolina, Elm & Owl Gallery is a premier destination for discovering the exceptional work of regional and Appalachian craft artists. We are dedicated to celebrating the rich artistic heritage of Western North Carolina and beyond, offering a thoughtfully curated space where craftsmanship, culture, and fine art come together.
At Elm & Owl, we believe in the power of handmade artistry to inspire, connect, and endure. Our mission is to showcase the skill and creativity of local artisans while providing visitors with a warm, intimate shopping experience. Unlike mass-produced goods from big-box stores or online marketplaces, our collection features one-of-a-kind pieces that carry the story of their makers and the traditions they uphold.
Our carefully selected works span a range of mediums—including pottery, textiles, woodwork, glass, jewelry, and fine art. Each piece reflects the spirit of the Appalachian region, honoring both time-honored techniques and innovative expressions.
By supporting regional artists, we help preserve Appalachian cultural traditions and nurture a thriving creative community. Whether you’re a collector, a lover of handmade goods, or simply seeking something meaningful, we invite you to explore Elm & Owl Gallery and experience the beauty of authentic craftsmanship from Western North Carolina and beyond.
