“Thank you for a wonderful two days of art adventures! At first, when I realized that I would not be able to join any of the scheduled group tour dates, I wondered if I should still contact you for an individual itinerary. I am so very glad I did! It was a truly memorable time of being immersed in a rich diversity of art work and artists and you are such a perfectly suited guide. I will treasure always the time spent with each artist and with you as we drove around Asheville and the beautiful NC countryside. Each of the pieces that “came home with me” are so much more meaningful because of the stories and personal experiences that are connected with them. I hope many more people will have this wonderful opportunity through Art Connections’ tours, and that they will discover the rich history of art that is continuing and still unfolding in this Appalachian area.”

“Sherry was attentive to what we hoped to accomplish and helped us make wise decisions to get the most out of the time we had available. The tour itself, including interactions with the artists, more than lived up to expectations. Sherry knows her art, knows her talent pool, and is willing to go the extra mile to meet the hopes and expectations of her clients. Bravo!”

Jean Etsinger

“Sherry's art tours provide an exceptional art experience.

Asheville is an art destination city, and I can't think of anyone more qualified than Sherry Masters to give residents and visitors access to the most accomplished fine artists and craftspeople.

Sherry's background and experience allow her to provide information about the heritage of crafts in this area, which deepens the richness of the tour experience. And, she customizes tours to meet the interests of participants. If you go to Weaverville, lunch at the Well Bred Bakery is an added treat.

Art Connections provides a premier art tour, allowing a "behind the scenes, off the beaten path," casual, informative, and fun connection with local artists. You definitely want to experience this, and share it with others!”

“Hi Sherry: Just a quick note to let you know that the tour your organized for my HS classmates was the highlight of my part of the visit to Asheville. The others stayed longer, but I can't imagine that any other stop was as interesting and educational as your tour. Thanks again for putting it together and recommending those particular artists. They were all so fun and interesting.”

“Sherry Masters has established Art Connections as the premier Art Tour in the Appalachians. Her selection of artist studios is based on the the quality of the art shown. I look forward to each visit ... "so get on the tour!"

"Great day. Thanks for organizing all of our artists. And it was a pleasure traveling with you today."

“I went on Sherry Masters Art Tour last Sunday and it was awesome! To travel with an art curator who takes you to meet some incredible artists in their own studios demonstrating their talents was truly a unique experience that I highly recommend.”
