After the historic flooding of the Asheville Arts District, many artists and arts organizations in that area saw catastrophic damage. Please consider donating to help those artists get back to normal. Donations made to FRANK’s Support Asheville Arts will 100% go to organizations that support artists and arts businesses in the Asheville area.
Here are some links to organizations, both local to Asheville and national, that are helping Asheville arts rebuild from this disaster.
