Hurricane Helene caused widespread destruction and fatalities across the southeastern United States in late September 2024. Florida, Alabama, Georgia, South Carolina, North Carolina, Tennessee, and Virginia were affected, and a large population of craft artists were affected. Many are still grappling with severe challenges, such as significant damage to their homes or studios, loss of essential tools and equipment, and major disruptions to their ability to continue their craft practice. Several of the hardest hit areas were completely cut off from washed out roads, loss of power/water, and loss of internet/cellular service.

Many of Lillstreet’s colleagues, suppliers and gallery artists are located in the North Carolina area and were extremely hard hit by the hurricane, so we are donating 10% of gallery sales during the month of November to CERF+, The Craft Emergency Relief Fund. From their website, “The Craft Emergency Relief Fund (CERF+) provides craft artists with support and resources for disaster and emergency relief, education programs, and readiness grants to strengthen preparedness. Committing to generosity, inclusion, and care, we advocate for the thrive-ability of craft artists and craft as an art form.”

Shop at Lillstreet during the month of November to support this important cause and to support independent artists!
