Asheville Announces Ribbon Cutting For Public Artwork On Urban Trail On November 13, 2025

The City of Asheville, with the Public Art and Culture Commission and Urban Trail Committee, are exited to announce the installation and dedication of a new piece of public art. The sculpture, called Fluvia, was created by Rachel David with Red Metal. This sculpture will function as both public art and seating, alongside the existing outside dining are in front of the historic S&W Building. Fluvial reimagines and replaces the long vacant Station #7 on the Urban Trail and is inspired by Art Deco architecture, Douglas Ellington’s S&W Building and David’s unique artistry. 

The piece will be draped after installation until the dedication/unveiling ceremony on Thursday, November 13 at 11:00 a.m. The public is invited and light refreshments will be available.
