Her sole source of income was sales of her art at The Marquee Asheville and participation in art markets, many of which take place in October at the height of tourism season. \u201cI had a wall in Marquee where I lost about a dozen framed original paintings and maybe 30 or so prints,\u201d she says. She was able to salvage two works from the debris.<\/p>\n<p>Towards the end of the storm, Schaffel and her partner drove to a bridge overlooking the River Arts District. \u201cI saw a painting float by and I felt such a unique, unfamiliar type of grief,\u201d says Schaffel. \u201cAs artists, we pour little pieces of ourselves into every single piece of art we make. All I wanted to do was jump into the river and save the art.\u201d<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_76225\" style=\"width: 410px\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-76225\" class=\"wp-image-76225\" src=\"https:\/\/thelaurelofasheville.com\/updatestage\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/The-Flood-Collection-New-American-Gothic-copy-2.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"400\" height=\"512\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-76225\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">New American Gothic. Hannah Rothstein, artist<\/p><\/div>\n<p>She knew she couldn\u2019t do that, but the grief stayed with her, as grief does. She had a \u201cnagging sensation\u201d that she needed to save the art. \u201cA friend suggested I make prints of all my lost work and call it \u2018The Flood Collection,\u2019\u201d she says. \u201cAnd that was it. I knew I had to somehow create not my flood collection, but our flood collection.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Schaffel started a Kickstarter campaign to raise money for <em>The Asheville Artists Flood Collection<\/em>, which will ultimately be a coffee table book and card deck featuring the work of 54 artists affected by Hurricane Helene. Her $15,000 goal was reached within four days, and when the Kickstarter ended on November 3, it had raised $157,989. All proceeds from <em>The Flood Collection<\/em> go directly to the participating artists.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe get to give artists a lot more money upfront than I ever imagined,\u201d Schaffel says. \u201cWe raised so much that we are also giving a cash gift to artists who applied but weren\u2019t accepted into the project.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Schaffel selected works for the project with the help of Mira Gerard, owner of Tyger Tyger Gallery. \u201cOur goal was to curate a collection that would adequately reflect our creative community here in WNC,\u201d says Schaffel. The curators considered geographic diversity, endeavoring to represent as much of WNC as possible, as well as diversity of artist experience level and medium. Artists were asked to submit a \u201cbefore\u201d photo of an original artwork that had been lost or destroyed in the storm.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_76224\" style=\"width: 310px\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-76224\" class=\"wp-image-76224\" src=\"https:\/\/thelaurelofasheville.com\/updatestage\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/The-Flood-Collection-IMG_1734-copy-2.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"451\" srcset=\"https:\/\/thelaurelofasheville.com\/updatestage\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/The-Flood-Collection-IMG_1734-copy-2.jpg 1064w, https:\/\/thelaurelofasheville.com\/updatestage\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/The-Flood-Collection-IMG_1734-copy-2-200x300.jpg 200w, https:\/\/thelaurelofasheville.com\/updatestage\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/The-Flood-Collection-IMG_1734-copy-2-681x1024.jpg 681w, https:\/\/thelaurelofasheville.com\/updatestage\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/The-Flood-Collection-IMG_1734-copy-2-768x1155.jpg 768w, https:\/\/thelaurelofasheville.com\/updatestage\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/The-Flood-Collection-IMG_1734-copy-2-1021x1536.jpg 1021w, https:\/\/thelaurelofasheville.com\/updatestage\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/The-Flood-Collection-IMG_1734-copy-2-810x1218.jpg 810w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-76224\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Artist Aaron Fields with his work The Way Back Home.

I wanted to give artists enough time to see this opportunity and submit, but I also know artists need money soon.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Hannah Rothstein, a self-taught artist whose work focuses on climate change, had a studio at Foundation Studios in the RAD prior to Helene. Her watercolor piece New American Gothic, one of a six-part series, will be featured in <em>The Asheville Artists Flood Collection.<\/em> \u201cThe irony of seeing my studio and work crushed by the very issue I fight against is not lost on me,\u201d she says. \u201cThe Flood Collection is one small piece of rebuilding and revitalizing this art scene\u2014and in turn, Asheville\u2019s ineffable charm.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Aaron Fields is a landscape painter that uses acrylic, paint markers and spray paint to create his works on wooden doors and cabinet panels. He was also an assistant manager at The Marquee before the flood. A photograph of <em>The Road Back Home,<\/em> the largest work Fields has ever painted, will be featured in the collection. \u201c<em>The Flood Collection<\/em> is bringing us together to never forget this experience and to preserve what we lost,\u201d he says. \u201cWhile things are at a stand-still with the economy of Asheville, this is also a great way to keep the flame lit for artists.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>While the images in <em>The Flood Collection<\/em> cannot replace the original works themselves, the project honors the loss, and, perhaps more importantly, creates financial support and hope for the artists that shape our community.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cArtists contribute significantly to our region\u2019s economy,\u201d says Schaffel. \u201cIt is imperative we find a way to keep them here, and this project is one way we can help do that.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><em>The Flood Collection is available for pre-order at <a href=\"http:\/\/TheFloodCollection.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">TheFloodCollection.com<\/a>. Businesses can also make wholesale orders to sell the book and card deck in their stores.
