The LEAF Global Arts Center opened to the public on February 17, 2020. The brick and mortar space is located in the renovated historic building on The Block that once housed Club Del Cardo, across the street from the YMI Cultural Center. The idea for LEAF Global was to take all of LEAF’s programming, locally and internationally, and bring it into one epicenter. Because it’s costly, timely, and difficult to travel the world, the LEAF Global Arts Center brings the world to Asheville through classes, workshops, performances, and hands-on experiences of global art and culture.
