Asheville Civic Center is the major entertainment facility for Western North Carolina. It includes an
Exhibition Hall on the bottom level, an Arena Floor immediate ly above, and a

is home to the Thomas Wolfe Auditorium, the venue for many dramas, music
performances, pageants, conventions, and festivals. Equipped with excellent
acoustic and lighting systems, it is also the performance space for the
Asheville Symphony Orchestra.
The building itself contains historic elements from the previous Art Deco
auditorium. The lobby of the current structure features Art Deco terrazzo floors
