Hurricane Helene dealt Asheville’s historic River Arts District a heavy blow, with an estimated 80 percent of its buildings damaged by a record wall of water from the French Broad River.

When the river rose to 24.67 feet, it instantly took works of art, studios, and the incomes of hundreds of artists involved in painting, photography, pottery, glassblowing, glass and metal work, sculpture, and printmaking.
