Connecting Community Through Creativity
The RADA Foundation hosts events, exhibitions, and fundraisers that celebrate the arts, uplift Asheville’s creative voices, and generate support for artists in the River Arts District.
Each event supports artists and fuels the mission of the RADA Foundation.
Every event is a chance to gather, give back, and experience the power of artistic connection.
We invite you to be part of these community celebrations, or explore our archive of past initiatives that have helped rebuild and reimagine Asheville’s creative future.
