Located in the heart of Downtown Asheville, the Leaf Global Experience is a vibrant community hub where art, music, and culture come alive through year-round workshops, classes, and special events. Visitors and locals of all ages can join master classes, world rhythm workshops, live performances, and family-friendly cultural gatherings designed to foster connection and global citizenship.
Building on a 30-year legacy that began with the signature LEAF Festival, this 501(c)(3) nonprofit bridges cultures both locally and globally across 10 countries. Stop by our downtown hub to attend a class, drop in for an event, or see how music and community intersect!
The Leaf Global Experience also serves as the lively home base for Leaf Schools & Streets, empowering thousands of local youth annually through hands-on creative education, social-emotional learning, and mentorship.
