The RADA Foundation exists to foster and advance the arts in Asheville’s River Arts District by supporting the efforts of the River Arts District Artists (RADA) organization.
Our work is built on three core programs: Scholarships. Space. Support.
We aim to be a leader in providing progressive services to our members, including shared spaces, scholarship opportunities, and technical assistance programs for both professional and emerging artists.
We are working to ensure that artists remain at the heart of the River Arts District, not displaced by development or disaster, but rooted in a thriving and resilient creative community.
We believe art is not just a product: it is a process that shapes culture, builds community, and drives resilience. The RADA Foundation supports a creative community where everyone belongs. We are committed to building inclusive and accessible spaces and programs that reflect the diverse voices of the River Arts District.
