Anyone know any good places in this region for yard/garden art? I'm thinking things like small metal sculptures or things of that sort. In general, I'm not talking about things that are mass produced (the kinds of things you can order online from Amazon.com), but I'm also not looking for things that are super expensive. (I'm not wanting something from the Picasso of yard art. I'm envisioning buying this from an artisan, not from an art gallery.)

My current search is something that might be 1-2' by 1-2', standing 2-4'.

This general region is so artistic, I though that there must be something here local or in the Asheville region that caters to these kind of products.

I know that there is a lot of metal sculpture work in the new Founders Park, but I don't know if any of that was actually made here locally.

I bought a few from local craft fairs so once those start up you should be able to find things. There is a man from NC that brings his items over to sell at local events; his work is amazing and we have purchased from him. If I can track down his info I will send to you.
