A few of this year’s featured nonprofits include organizations focused on community development, the arts, education and environmental stewardship. A full list of nonprofit partners can be found at https://mymosaicrealty.com/our-company-and-services/galleries-and-nonprofits/.
How does the raffle work?
One of the highlights of the evening is the themed raffle packages, featuring curated prizes from local businesses and partners. Raffle tickets will be available in advance (https://givebutter.com/artwalk26) and on-site, with proceeds going to help support all participating nonprofits. Simply choose the nonprofit or nonprofits you would like to directly support, and enter to win at the corresponding galleries.
Will there be refreshments?
Yes! Mosaic Realty has hired local eatery 67 Biltmore to cater light fare for the event. In addition, complimentary wine, beer and nonalcoholic beverages will be on tap.
Where do I park?
Downtown Asheville offers several convenient parking options, including public parking garages throughout the downtown area, as well as street parking (where available). We recommend using the Asheville Parking app!
What’s the best way to plan my route?
Peruse the map of participating galleries ahead of time at MosaicArtWalk.com (where you can download a pdf of the map - coming soon!). With all locations within a walkable downtown radius, it’s easy to explore multiple stops throughout the evening.
Unsure of where to start? We recommend beginning with a visit to the gallery where your Mosaic broker is hosting, then check out galleries where the art and featured nonprofits pique your interest.
How else can I support the nonprofits?
In addition to the raffle, you can:
- Purchase artwork, with many galleries donating a portion of proceeds
- Meet nonprofit representatives at each location
- Make direct donations to the nonprofits during the event
