By now the total devastation and loss of life from Hurricane Helene is global news, and our path to recovery begins. As the Asheville River Arts District has become the poster child of the flooding, we are sure you have all seen the destruction of our beautiful, vibrant creative community. The 310 ART LLC Family has been lucky to hold on to their lives, and most of us still have our homes. Most of the pieces for sale by our artists has been lost, as well as our beloved gallery space and classroom. You can see more pictures of this loss here

But we are not giving up. Our goal right now is to begin operations and classes in a new location as soon as we can, to provide our devastated artists with some income and community. Please help us if you can.

We will never stop supporting artists in WNC and all over the country, we will never give up on nurturing the next generation of creatives. Thank you, from our family to yours.
