About

Gallery Mélange is an artist-owned contemporary art haven nestled in the heart of Downtown Asheville. Established in 2024 by the visionary trio of Mark Bettis, Jeffrey Burroughs, and Victoria Pinney, Gallery Mélange is a celebration of artistic diversity and a tribute to the vibrant spirit of the Asheville arts community.

 

Our gallery’s name, Mélange, is a nod to its French origins, signifying a harmonious mixture. True to its essence, Gallery Mélange is a tapestry of creativity, weaving together a diverse array of artistic expressions that captivate the senses and inspire the soul.

 

We are thrilled to throw open our doors to the public, inviting you to embark on a journey through the ever-evolving landscape of contemporary art, and fine jewelry. As we navigate the realms of imagination, our founders, each accomplished artists in their own right, infuse the gallery with their passion and dedication to the craft.

Our exhibition calendar is to be a canvas upon which narratives unfold, showcasing the boundless creativity that resides within our community and beyond. From thought-provoking installations to visually stunning paintings, each piece is carefully created to engage and inspire.

 

As we embark on this exciting journey, we are committed to fostering a welcoming space for art enthusiasts and the art-curious alike. Gallery Mélange is not just a physical space; it’s a vibrant hub where conversations about art come to life, where connections are made, and where the boundaries of artistic expression are pushed.

 

In addition to our exhibitions, Gallery Mélange is dedicated to creating special events that elevate the art experience.
