Asheville Fringe Artist Relief Fund
The floods of Hurricane Helene left all of our beloved local artists with lost wages, property, homes, and the means to produce their art. With the City of Asheville’s prolonged water outage, most businesses have remained closed, rendering many Ashevillians unemployed. Most of our artists have been out selflessly helping the community during this difficult time, while their own futures are uncertain. This fund is specifically aimed at performing artists and theatre technicians who are recent Asheville Fringe Arts Festival alumni, or current applicants.
If you’d like to donate toward operations costs and staff support for the upcoming festival, go here.

Artists: Apply for a $250 micro-grant (coming soon)
You qualify if you are an artist or theatre technician in the affected area who participated in a recent Asheville Fringe Arts Festival, or who has applied to our upcoming 2025 festival.
We will send out a newsletter letting you know when funds are available.
Below are some before and after photos of our venues that were severely damaged or lost due to the flood.
