Welcome to Roots + Wings School of Art.

It is our mission to provide unique visual arts education opportunities for people of all ages, abilities and functionalities, and to forge relationships with and incorporate the diverse talents of the local artist community.

We have a variety of program opportunities throughout the year including a Visual Arts Preschool, Monthly Art Sessions, Summer Art Camps, Art Birthday Celebrations, Art Workshops, Private Art Sessions, and more.

Please view the links above for more information and details about our programs.


Roots + Wings is pleased to announce a special offering: join us for an Asheville Art Retreat.

Visit Asheville in a unique way! Work one-on-one in a River Arts District studio with a professional visual artist, and leave the studio with your own work of art. Then, retreat to quaint Biltmore Village for cozy Southern comfort food, and end your evenings relaxing in a historic Biltmore Village bed and breakfast.

A variety of packages are available. Click here for more info!


“Ginger’s school is the best thing that’s happened for our son. He has learned so much and everyday he is so proud of what he has created or learned. Most of all, he LOVES going to school. Ginger is thoughtful and intentional about her curriculum and is an amazing teacher. We are so lucky to have her and Roots and Wings in our community!!”
-Caroline, Visual Arts Preschool parent

“My daughter’s experience at Roots + Wings School of Art helped build her confidence, not only with the art mediums, but also helped build skills in listening to a teacher and social interaction with her peers.”
- Michelle, Monthly Art Session parent

“At Roots + Wings, my son gets individual attention and loving validation of his interests, which makes all the difference. The space is cheerful and clean and safe. It’s hard to get my son to leave at the end of the preschool day!”
-Alana, Visual Arts Preschool parent

“You should frame all of my art!”
-Sadie, Monthly Art Session student
