Dear Friends, Art Enthusiasts, and Community Members,

I am reaching out on behalf of my dear friend Alan Hargraves, whose stained glass business was tragically devastated during Hurricane Helene. Located in Asheville’s vibrant art district, Alan’s workshop was a cherished space where creativity flourished and beauty was crafted. The storm not only damaged his physical workspace but also destroyed countless pieces of art that held deep meaning for both Alan and his clients.

For over a decade, Alan has dedicated his life to creating stunning stained glass artworks that bring joy and inspiration to everyone who encounters them. His passion for art and commitment to the community has made his work a staple in Asheville. However, the recent hurricane has left him facing an uphill battle to rebuild everything he has worked so hard to create.
