OpenDoors Asheville is excited to announce its largest annual fundraiser, the Art Affair, will be held on Saturday, February 25, 2023, at The Venue in downtown Asheville. The 13th annual Art Affair celebrates students while raising awareness and critical funds to eliminate the race-based opportunity and achievement gaps in the Asheville community.
Proceeds directly support OpenDoors students moving to and through college by providing increased access to education, enrichment, and other critical resources. The Art Affair is one of Asheville’s most anticipated fundraisers, attracting hundreds of passionate donors every year with its exceptional art auction.
Thanks to generosity of donors, supporters, artists, and local businesses, last year’s Art Affair raised a record-breaking $300,000 for OpenDoors Asheville, which led to:
- 48% more students on the OpenDoors roster
- 47 students attending summer camp
- 600+ hours of one-on-one tutoring
- And so much more!
This year’s theme is Kaleidoscope: Beauty Found.
