Asheville Strong
Celebrating Art and Community After Hurricane Helene
The Asheville Art Museum is delighted to present an exhibition of artwork by artists who live and work in the Helene-affected Appalachia region. The Museum was founded by a group of passionate artists in 1948 with a mission, in part, to share and promote the art of Western North Carolina. Carrying on that legacy, this special, non-juried exhibition celebrates the strength and diversity of our regional arts community acknowledging the significant impact of Hurricane Helene on the lives of artists across Southern Appalachia. Our aim is to provide an opportunity and venue for impacted artists to showcase their work, connect with each other and collectors, and join together in a collective act of resilience.
