Randy Shull and Hedy Fischer are creating a colorful sensation on Depot Street in Asheville’s River Arts District. The former textile manufacturing and warehouse building at 342 Depot Street has been transformed into an exciting mix of artist studios and retail spaces.

Pink Dog Creative shares the neighborhood with local favorites, such as Wedge Brewery, Clingman Cafe, 12 Bones and many local artist studios. Randy has already established his studio in the building and shares it with 15 other artists, galleries and The Junction Restaurant and Bar.

Be sure to visit the gallery to see images of this transformation in progress!

Open Hours: Artists work odd hours but we promise to have our studios open for the public on Fridays and Saturdays from 10-4.

2011 RiverBusiness Award Recipient

Pink Dog Creative has been honored as a 2011 RiverBusiness Award recipient by RiverLink.org. An excerpt is below, but you can read the full article at the Mountain Xpress.

“Pink Dog Creative Studios on Depot Street was founded in 2010, the brainchild of Randy Schull and Hedy Fisher, two long time Asheville artists, entrepreneurs and activists. Randy is an architect, artist and sculptor who has transformed old manufacturing space into more artist studios, a new restaurant and a theater. They added these facilities as entrepreneurs without a government subsidy. It is a vibrant community of 15 artist studios, the Asheville Area Arts Council and The Junction Restaurant and Bar, due to open spring of 2011. Pink Dog Creative’s goal is to create a thoughtful community providing space for creative minds to gather, create, show and work eat and drink together.”
