Follow the Riverwalk or stroll down to Blount Street- the “Avenue of the Arts” and discover Kinston’s Arts and Cultural District. Here you will find brightly painted Victorian cottages, bungalows, and fine historic homes. The newly created SmART District is transforming abandoned historic buildings and homes into studios, lofts, and apartments where artists live, produce and sell their art. Plan to spend some time enjoying the beautiful entryway sculptures and public art, while visiting a neighborhood that is coming alive with the ARTS!
