The market is home to more than 40 local-only artists and provides a permanent space for creators who lost their studios and livelihoods in the flooding. The market showcases a wide range of handcrafted work\u2014from fine art and jewelry to textiles, ceramics, woodwork, metalwork, and more\u2014all made by Western North Carolina artists.<\/p>\n<p>In a moving act of generosity and solidarity, artists from the Village Artist Market donated original and print artwork to all five families whose homes were rebuilt and featured in the currently airing <i>This Old House \u2013 Carolina Comeback<\/i> series. Each homeowner chose pieces that they were most drawn to as part of their homecoming celebration.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOur artists lost so much in Helene, but their first instinct was still to give,\u201d said the market\u2019s founder. \u201cDonating art to these families was a way of honoring resilience, rebuilding, and the shared experience of starting over.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The segment featuring the Village Artist Market visit is airing on PBS as part of the ongoing <i>This Old House<\/i> season.<\/p>\n<p><i>Village Artist Market is located at 32 All Souls Crescent in Asheville\u2019s Biltmore Village.
