We're dedicating our gallery to western North Carolina artists displaced by Hurricane Helene, providing them a place to sell their work at no cost. This initiative runs through the end of December 2024, with all sales proceeds going directly to the artists.

The exhibit will run until Dec 28, allowing plenty of time to support these artists by purchasing their works. 100% of each sale goes directly to help an artist in need.
