The Saints of Paint of WNC is an association of like-minded artists whose work reflects a deep appreciation of human rights and natural environment. The Saints are also committed to diversity, education and social justice. We partner with not-for-profit agencies to build successful fundraising events. From their creation in 2014 to the present their experience has produced successful events throughout the Asheville area.

The Saints exclusively procure the artists, artwork and presentation They partner to provide public relations and to produce the event, such as catering, venue, entertainment, and hosting.

Increased public awareness, community outreach, and the creation of new relationships and the confirmation of old ones are byproducts of this venture. Income from art sales and ticketed events (if applicable) provide income. The not-for-profit can take pride in promoting and supporting seasoned and emerging artists from the local arts community.

We have successfully raised funds for Appalachian Wildlife, Blue Ridge Parkway Foundation, RiverLink, and Appalachian Barn Alliance.

UPCOMING in OCTOBER, 2020 – The Pastoral Palette – Rural Spaces for the Soul. Originally scheduled for late June, we have rescheduled this show due to COVID.

We have just completed our move to a new studio in the River Arts District of Asheville. I will be open after some renovation after January 10th. You can reach me by email or phone/text as usual. The new location is in Riverview Station, 191 Lyman Street, Asheville. We’re in studio #236, upstairs on the north end. Take Old Lyman round to the back and part in the courtyard to the right. We’re really excited to be in this great, larger and more accommodating space. We expect to be open by January 15-16 and classes resume after the 18th if all goes well.
