An art-focused fundraising event raised more than $40,000 for the Blue Ridge Parkway Foundation last month, allowing for education and improvements to continue along the 469-mile corridor. 

The gala and art show, “Of Valley & Ridge: A Scenic Journey Through the Blue Ridge Parkway,” was held Oct. 26 to 28 at Zealandia in Asheville, a collaboration of the Foundation and The Saints of Paint. More than 30 fine artists from Western North Carolina created pieces for the event.

We don’t plan to change that model. Support from our readers will help us maintain and strengthen the editorial independence that is crucial to our mission to help make Western North Carolina a better place to call home.
