The Saints of Paint Asheville began in 2014 when a group of dedicated painters hoping to make a difference came up with an idea of ‘art aid”. The idea was to provide a venue for sale of art work to benefit not-for-profit organizations. We hoped to put our talents to work for positive change. Our idea was to partner with non-profit groups that focus to preserve and protect the environment and wild-life,and those working for direct, positive social change.

We elected host pop-up art exhibitions in partnership with organizations whose mission and efforts we find inspiring. We have successfully joined with Appalachian Barn Alliance, RiverLink, Blue Ridge Parkway Foundation and Appalachian Wildlife Refuge. Due to the pandemic we cancelled several shows on our calendar, and are now planning more events. Artists are all local, ranging from students, emerging talent to working artists.
