More About Asheville Artists Benefit Show
Greensboro Project Space is pleased to announce a fundraising event in support of Western North Carolina (WNC) artists devastated by Hurricane Helene, organized by Asheville-based artist Margee Halsch.
This exhibition will show works in a variety of mediums from nine WNC artists displaced by Hurricane Helene. The hurricane and flood waters from the French Broad River have decimated the historic River Arts District in Asheville, leaving hundreds of artists without inventory, studios, and gallery spaces.
“To be able to support our fellow Asheville art community in this way is reflective of what’s at the heart of GPS - supporting artists through community and humanity. It is with open doors and open arms that we welcome these Asheville-based artists. Our hope is to play just a small part in a much larger revitalization process by offering a platform for them to share their artistry during this time of recovery,” says Greensboro Project Space Director, Caitlyn Schrader.
This exhibition offers an additional opportunity for the Greensboro community to support the recovery of this group of artists, both financially and emotionally. All artworks will be available for sale, with 100% of profits going directly to the artists. Proceeds from a raffle at the closing reception will further support relief efforts in the Asheville River Arts District.
