100% of the proceeds will go to WNC Tip It Forward, a hurricane relief grant program founded by ArtsAVL, AIR (Asheville Independent Restaurants) and GBX Group. The fund, now in Phase 2 of funding, provides unrestricted grants to individuals in our arts and culinary communities and small independent businesses in the arts in Western North Carolina. These two vital economic sectors were the hardest hit in the wake of Hurricane Helene, leaving thousands without jobs, incomes, gigs, studios, supplies, housing and resources. Every dollar donated to WNC Tip It Forward is tax deductible and is split between ArtsAVL and AIR for this grant program.
The Hell or High Water online auction is live through March 15 and anyone can bid.
