Gallery Zella was established in 2016 with a handful of artists and artisans in an upstairs out-of-the way place.  Collectors found us, however, and thus began our odyssey to become a destination gallery for local residents as well as visitors from around the world.  Now we have over 25 Artists in 4 Showrooms in the former Citizens Bank Building at 166 Everett Street Located in the Heart of Downtown Bryson City

Built in 1915, this newly restored historic building is a "must see landmark" filled with exquisite artwork by internationally renowned masters, as well as regional and local favorites.
