Marshall High Studios

Marshall High Studios, which opened in late 2007, is located on Blanahassett Island in downtown Marshall, 25 minutes from downtown Asheville. The building, built in 1925, is the old Marshall High School. It consists of 28 studios, most of them original classrooms, plus the old auditorium and stage. The building has been completely renovated, but not to the point where the spirit of an old school building is compromised.

 

The Depot

Every Friday night at this community music and dance gathering‚ local fiddlers‚ singers‚ guitarists‚ and banjo pickers perform old-time and bluegrass favorites. The arrangement here is informal. Some of the groups play mostly old-time‚ some play exclusively bluegrass‚ and others play everything from country standards to the latest country pop hits. And it’s all FREE.

Marshall used to be the commercial and cultural hub of Madison County. Then ‘the bypass’ got built and with less traffic some of the businesses fell on hard times. But the town is now in a period of resurgence. 

 

Marshall is still the cultural hub of the area. Artists studios, galleries, music venues, lofts--Marshall and Madison County have remained a magnet for creativity for the area. Asheville has so much going on it’s bursting at the seams, and some of the best things find their way to small towns like Marshall to complement what is has always been here.
