When Hurricane Helene roared into Western North Carolina on September 26, the RAD bore the full brunt of floodwaters. Eighty percent of the District was damaged and nearly half of its artists displaced.<\/p>\n<p>Almost immediately afterwards, the River Arts District Association (RADA) rolled up its sleeves and got to work, initiating a comprehensive recovery plan to support affected artists and look to the future for revitalization of the RAD\u2019s arts scene. Highlights of the plan include fundraising to assist artists with repairs and replacement of materials, helping displaced artists find temporary and permanent spaces, securing large donations of art supplies that go directly to artists and fostering collaborative community projects among artists.<\/p>\n<p>In Phase 1, artists are being helped monetarily. \u201cCurrently, RADA is distributing a $300 stipend to artists that were members of RADA and were showing in the RAD during the storm,\u201d says Heather Divoky, RADA\u2019s marketing chair. \u201cWe are also giving $150 to non-member artists showing in the RAD during the storm as well.\u201d Phase 2 will include grants to benefit artists directly, and Phase 3 will include larger-scale projects. \u201cIn addition,\u201d says Divoky, \u201cwe are working with our partners in Asheville and from the City to find space for displaced artists. We\u2019re also collecting and distributing art supplies for artists, which has already started happening. Just last week Bob Ross, Inc. donated eight pallets of art supplies for artists in the RAD!\u201d<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_76765\" style=\"width: 1210px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-76765\" class=\"size-full wp-image-76765\" src=\"https:\/\/thelaurelofasheville.com\/updatestage\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/Rebuilding-RAD-flooding-17-credit-Renee-Treece-copy-2.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1200\" height=\"731\" srcset=\"https:\/\/thelaurelofasheville.com\/updatestage\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/Rebuilding-RAD-flooding-17-credit-Renee-Treece-copy-2.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/thelaurelofasheville.com\/updatestage\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/Rebuilding-RAD-flooding-17-credit-Renee-Treece-copy-2-300x183.jpg 300w, https:\/\/thelaurelofasheville.com\/updatestage\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/Rebuilding-RAD-flooding-17-credit-Renee-Treece-copy-2-1024x624.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/thelaurelofasheville.com\/updatestage\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/Rebuilding-RAD-flooding-17-credit-Renee-Treece-copy-2-768x468.jpg 768w, https:\/\/thelaurelofasheville.com\/updatestage\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/Rebuilding-RAD-flooding-17-credit-Renee-Treece-copy-2-810x493.jpg 810w, https:\/\/thelaurelofasheville.com\/updatestage\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/Rebuilding-RAD-flooding-17-credit-Renee-Treece-copy-2-1140x694.jpg 1140w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-76765\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Photo by Renee Treece<\/p><\/div>\n<p>A scroll through social media sites for artists and studios shows an astounding drive and willingness to volunteer, shovel out, clean up, feed and help one another\u2014all actions necessary to get to a day when the District can thrive again. Perhaps no one seeing the devastation immediately afterward could have dreamed that less than a month and a half afterwards, on November 9, artists would be able to host visitors again with a two-day soft opening\u2014RadFest 1.0. Participating were the studios that received not as much damage and were able to reopen as well as many displaced artists. \u201cHoly moly!,\u201d Divoky says. \u201cI have never seen the community come out and show up like that before! On both days, we had thousands of visitors supporting artists in ways I personally have never seen. It was a moment of resilience and a moment of normalcy. Every community member I talked to was nothing but supportive. I think I can speak for most of the artists when I say we all felt the love those two days.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Although it\u2019s too soon to say what a newly rebuilt RAD will look like, collaborative projects among artists including auctions, art sales and fundraisers are in the works\u2014bringing awareness and much-needed funds to artists who are hoping to rebuild and regain their livelihoods.<\/p>\n<p>Robert Nicholas, owner of Marquee Asheville, is one of those looking ahead with optimism. Marquee\u2019s 50,000-square-foot building on Foundy Street was devastated by floodwaters. Home to small businesses, makers and antique dealers, the marketplace also housed the art of more than 300 artists. \u201cMarquee and Foundy Street are seeing a lot of positive improvement through clean-up efforts with both volunteers and contracted assistance,\u201d Nicholas says. \u201cMarquee is moving forward with the rebuild. We do, however, need financial support to see it through to fruition.\u201d For those wanting to help, find a link to Marquee\u2019s GoFundMe page at <a href=\"http:\/\/MarqueeAsheville.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">MarqueeAsheville.com<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe are all of us\u2014every single RAD artist\u2014working in some way to rebuild,\u201d says Divoky. \u201cRiverview Station, as of mid-November, is still in the middle of volunteer clean-up. So is Trackside. Folks who have studios have made room for displaced artists. The only constant in life is change, and artists know this. It\u2019s why we are so adaptable. And it will work in our favor.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><em>To stay informed about efforts in the River Arts District, follow on Instagram (<a href=\"http:\/\/instagram.com\/riverartsdistrictasheville\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">riverartsdistrictasheville<\/a>).
