Hurricane Helene Benefit Concert

Louise Bourgeois said “Art is restoration: the idea is to repair the damages that are inflicted in life, to make something that is fragmented- which is what fear and anxiety do to a person- into something whole.”

On November 21 we are hosting a benefit concert to help repair Black Mountain Home for Children and Families, which was devastated by hurricane Helene. Join us for an evening of music with Jess Ray and Taylor Leonhardt of Mission House, featuring local artists Hearthsong and Austin Sebek.

  • When: November 21 at 7:00pm. Save the Date!
  • Where: GMR Auditorium

This will be a free concert. All donations will benefit the recovery of Black Mountain Home for Children and Families.
