UPDATED 10-1: Our October First Friday artist is from Asheville. She is unable to make it for her show. With little time but a heart to help we’ve contacted many of our past artists and are coordinating a group show that will raise money for disaster relief.

Friday, October 4 from 6-8 pm Awaken Coffee at 125 W. Jackson Ave. Knoxville, TN will host an opening reception to raise disaster relief funds for artists in Western North Carolina. A portion (amounts vary by artist) of each sale will go to @artnorthcarolina disaster relief fund. All art purchases will contribute to Hurricane Helene disaster relief.

Awaken Coffee, 125 W Jackson Ave, Knoxville, TN 37902. Open daily. Information: 865-951-0427, www.instagram.com/awaken_coffee or www.facebook.com/awakencoffeeoldcity/
