Hurricane Update 10-2-2024

     The destruction caused by Hurricane Helene across Western North Carolina and Tennessee is unbelievably bad. It will take weeks to clean up and restore water and power. Local crews and State and Federal units are on top of restoration and rescue. Electric linemen are coming from as far away as Texas and Canada.
     The hurricane spared NorthLight Studios which experienced minor basement flooding. The water did not affect any of our working studios. Nearby artists and businesses along the French Broad River endured catastrophic and complete destruction. Their quick thinking preserved precious artwork in some cases. Hundreds were not able to get into the district to save their work. Amidst evacuations and challenges, Asheville's creative, nurturing soul shines. You can reach Angela, Heidi, Jacobina, Nadine and Nan, through their personal websites and contact information. We encourage the continuing sale of our art.
     Once the lights are on, and we “have water to wash our brushes,” we will be back in business at NorthLight Studios. Give River Arts District Artists time to heal, and we will bloom again, producing exquisite art in the Renaissance that follows this catastrophe. The River Arts District is encouraging donations to their artist’s fund. One of their goals is to assist artists (amounts based on funds raised) with rent, repair, art supplies. https://www.riverartsdistrict.com/donate/

Elegant and Classic NorthLight Studios as referenced by local author and art curator Constance Richards, is home to five working artists' studios and their public galleries. The 1904 former tannery hosts landscape, animal art, contemporary art, abstract paintings, and charcoal portraits.
