Support Helene Recovery

Since the day after the Hurricane Helene, Lamplight AVL has been building a multi-phase program to support Asheville area artists who were affected by Helene. The Recover, Remain, and Thrive Program will consist of phased support of local artists to ensure their immediate and foundational recovery, with a vision of artists remaining and thriving in Asheville.

We just launched fundraising for phase two, and we need your support.

Phase 2 will offer grants of up to $20,000 to Asheville area artists, collectives, and organizations. These grants offer foundational, longer term stabilization to “community connectors” that serve as hubs with wide ripple effects. We are raising $100k to support this effort.

Donate if you can, and please share this campaign so we can reach our goal!

Join us for our first ever FUNDRAISING GALA!

We want to gather with our community, dress up (sequins encouraged!), have a fun night after a hard season, share some food and drink, and, of course, raise some money to benefit our Helene Recovery Fundraising efforts: ART REMAINSWe are offering sliding scale tickets ($50-$150) in hopes that we can host as many of our community members as would like to attend. There will be a raffle, there will be karaoke, there will be a sparkly photo zone, and the event will be in conjunction with an online auction. The bar is open, with cocktails from A&A bartending along with wine and beer from our amazing sponsors, Burial Beer and Visuals Wine!

There are a limited number of tickets in each pricing tier, get yours today!
