Support Creative Resilience for Appalachian Makers

Hey Everyone,

Blue Ridge Artisan Market is currently raising funds for our "Creative Resilience" Market series and Our Artist Relief Grant! We are partnering with small businesses to create safe spaces for Artists and Makers to vend at who have been impacted and displaced by Helene. All new markets in 2024 will be free for artists and makers and extra funds will go to our artists who have lost studios, homes, and inventory.

Please help us keep our community strong and supported. A huge part of our region's income (especially for Makers) is made in the Fall and Holiday Seasons. Your donation will go directly to creating spaces for artists to share their art or directly into the hands of creatives who were hit the hardest.

I cannot and will not give up on our area's artists/makers/growers. We are surrounded by so much devastation, but what I see more than that devastation is the LOVE and the COMPASSION of our community. It spreads so far across these Appalachian mountains and gives me hope for our future.

These funds are being organized by Brittany (the founder of BRAM) and will go directly into the hands of artists in Henderson, Buncombe, Transylvania, and Rutherford counties..
