Art 4 RAD :: AVL Beer Week Edition

5:00 PM - 8:00 PM | West Asheville, NC

Thursday, May 22, 2025

This year’s AVL Beer Week events will emphasize arts, crafts, and creativity within Asheville and the ever-evolving beverage industry, so you know we had to bring back Amateur Art 4 RAD!

Here’s how it works:
1. You come to The Whale and use our supplies to create beautiful works of art. You can bring your own supplies if you have something specific in mind. We encourage you to create art inspired by Asheville’s beer scene, but you don’t have to!

2. On Saturday, we will sell your art on a first-come, first-served serve pay-what-you-can basis!

3. The money raised will be donated to the River Arts District Artists Foundation, who use the funds to support the artists of the RAD after the devastation of historic flooding destroyed buildings, art, and supplies, plus rebuilding efforts, artist supplies, and priority needs to help our artists.

4. People who purchase art can have it mailed to them or can pick it up at The Whale West Asheville.
