Artists for Asheville

Artists for Asheville A Free Music & Art Festival Supporting Disaster Relief for the Art Community of Asheville, North Carolina
DONATE or SIGN UP TO EXHIBIT YOUR ART

About This Event

Artists for Asheville is a volunteer-organized fundraiser to support the artists and creative community of Asheville, NC, who were devastated by Hurricane Helene in 2024. The River Arts District, home to more than 300 artists, suffered catastrophic damage—many lost their studios, equipment, and years of original work.

​This event is free and open to the public. Funds are being r

aised in two ways:
1. Public Donations. Supporters can donate directly through our website or in-person at the event. 100% of these contributions will go toward relief efforts.
2. Artist Exhibitor Fees. Participating artists are paying a $55 booth fee to exhibit and sell their work at the event. A portion of these fees helps cover event expenses, while the remaining funds support the fundraising effort.

​After the event, all net proceeds will be distributed to non-profit arts organizations that serve artists in Asheville’s River Arts District. These organizations will be selected by the event committee in consultation with community leaders and local partners. Logo design & drawing by Jonathan Allen - https://www.jonathanallen.org/

There is something for everyone at Artists for Asheville!
In September 2024, Hurricane Helene devastated Asheville’s River Arts District—displacing hundreds of artists and destroying irreplaceable work. On September 13th we’re coming together through art and music to raise funds and help restore what was lost.
