Rail Walk Studios & Gallery (RWS&G) is located in the Rail Walk Arts District of Historic Downtown Salisbury, North Carolina, and is housed in a former warehouse near the restored Salisbury railroad depot. The brainchild of artist Marietta Foster Smith, Rail Walk Studios & Gallery opened in September 2006. Currently, there are five artists, Carol Dunkley, Sharon Forthofer, Annette Ragone Hall, Patt Legg, Marietta Foster Smith, and one photographer, Jason Williams, leasing space. A new artist is coming on board in July to take the last available space.

The Rowan Arts Council also has its office at RWS&G.

Each of the artists at RWS&G has a unique style and body of work. Visitors will find original paintings in watercolor, acrylic, oil, pastel, and other types of mediums, as well as sculpture and pottery, making RWS&G a great place to purchase a wide variety of original art. Some of the artists also offer reasonably priced reproductions of their work. In addition to her artwork, Sharon Forthofer also offers a giclée-reproduction service to artists and photographers.

The Looking Glass Art Collective, an arts organization founded in 2008, is located in the same building, next door to Rail Walk Studios & Gallery. Cascade Sculptures, which features original metal sculptures by artists Keith Collins and Katherine Apple, is also located next door. As the historic brick buildings on N Lee St. are gradually transformed from warehouses into spaces for artists and complementary retail businesses, including restaurants, the Rail Walk arts district will continue to expand.

Rail Walk Gallery is open every Saturday, 10:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m., and for special events. It is also open periodically on other days. If you see the "Gallery Open" flag flying, then come on in.

We are also open by appointment. Call the artist whose work you are interesting in seeing.

Note: there are two side-by-side entrances to Rail Walk Studios & Gallery, one at 409 N. Lee St., and the other at 413 N. Lee St. Look for the green doors.

Free parking is available in two lots, which are on opposite corners of the intersection of E. Kerr and N. Lee streets. Parking is also available behind the building.
