We were at the Marquee 2 days before the hurricane hit. We LOVED it! Such an unusual selection of fine art and antiques plus beer and wine. We are heartbroken that it was so damaged. Prayers for the artists and business owners who are now digging their way out of the horrendous storm. Please rebuild if you can. Your artwork is appreciated and treasured by many.

Awesome place to take a stroll in the River Arts district. Full of awesome art, vintage, na beverages (including cbd/thc) and other interesting finds. One of my favorite spots when I’m in town!

Love the style and originality of so many pieces. Clothes are funky and one of a kind, furniture is cool, artwork is beautiful or unique. Idk...if I was furnishing a place, I'd definitely go here.

Such a cool spot for shopping and artists exhibiting their work. Each store was arranged beautifully. Good thing to do while the rain passed by. Also there was some alcoholic beverages for purchase

I felt a sense of Nirvana walking in. Incredible building, amazing art, and magical vibe. I wasn’t mentally prepared for such an awesome experience and was a little overwhelmed because I hadn’t budgeted enough time to fully enjoy. Could have spent hours if not days soaking in the wonderment! Also, unbelievable selection of delicious wine, beer, cider and other unique beverages. I will definitely be back and can’t wait to return!

Where do I even begin? Marquee is packed with antiques, handmade items, art, and the most unexpected finds. I usually go at least once a week and I always find something I never saw before. All of the employees are extremely kind. And, the owners are some of the nicest people you will ever meet.

Eclectic, super chill to walk around with a girlfriend and hang for a rainy afternoon. So many beautiful art exhibits and unique finds! After hours, we didn't even finish seeing the whole place. For those who drink, there's a bar! What?! Fascinating place and definitely a great tourist art walk.

This place is phenomenal. It's like taking a step back in time in some of these booths. I absolutely look forward to coming back again when I'm back in Asheville for a visit!

Huge retail space with booths for different artists/sellers with lots of unique items. They even had a fabulous artist singing live music and a bar with a great selection of drink options. Could have spent all day there!
