RADFest 2.0 is coming!!! Our first RADFest was the first event we had after Hurricane Helene devastated so much of the River Arts District. At the time we just had a few re-opened spaces, and tons of artists set up selling their art from pop-up tents. We were absolutely blown away with how many people came to show their support and buy art. You guys really showed how pivotal art is to the identity and culture of Asheville, and we were so grateful.
NOW we have over 500 artists in the many re-opened buildings of RAD, and we’ll have the outdoor art market of over 100 still displaced artists. It’s time to show up for us again, and what a beautiful excuse to fill your home with unique, amazing local art.
You can also expect:
• Live music and DJ’s all weekend
• Art demonstrations from working artists in every medium
• Food trucks and local flavors to keep you fueled
• Family fun with face painting, interactive activities, and more
• Studios and galleries open for collectors, art lovers, and curious visitors
Free admission, all are welcome!
November 8th and 9th, 10am-5pm
Displaced RAD Artists who want to set up in the Art Market, please fill out this form: https://form.jotform.com/252766193961064
