After briefly vanishing from public view, Graham's leadership led to opening a gallery flex space in the River Arts District as the new AAAC headquarters

Dipping into the deep pool of Asheville-area fine arts talent, Graham lined up a year of art shows and hosted each show's opening, actively building community

The ARTERY was a valuable resource for traditionally underserved populations in the area: hosting fundraisers, events, and art shows to benefit partners

The long-lost signature Color Ball fundraiser/ mega-event for the AAAC came roaring back with a powerful array of musical, dance, aerial, and other performances

Graham led the effort for the inaugural Summit where over 100 creative professionals assembled to discuss local challenges and opportunities

Creative professionals add extraordinary value to any community, especially when they're granted access to resources & grants. So the AAAC did just that.
