Mountain Housing Opportunities’ Doors of Asheville art auction fundraiser is Friday, November 5 at 6:30 p.m. at The Venue.  Juried works by regional artists are auctioned at the event, proceeds benefit the programs and services of non-profit Mountain Housing Opportunities–wine, beer & hors d’oeurves AND live entertainment!  MHO’s services and programs include emergency home repair, affordable/workforce housing development and lending, and neighborhood revitalization.  Tickets $55 per person or $100 per couple.

It will feature 30 one-of-a-kind works of art created by local artists.  You have GOT to check these amazing pieces out!  The pieces range from full-sized doors used as canvas to smaller, more intimate works that embrace the theme of doors to homes and housing.  The other cool thing is that MHO pays artists an honorarium for each work.  If their piece brings more than the set amount at auction, the artist gets an additional $300.

Doors will open at 6:30 p.m.  Guests will enjoy delicious hors d’oeuvres from The Venue, fine wines from The Merry Wine Market, and great beer from Craggie Brewing Company. The band “Swing On” will be playing music from swing era to Frank Sinatra. The live auction begins at 7:30 p.m.  Mark Wilson will be the auctioneer.

The Doors of Asheville is made possible by the generous contributions of talented local artists and sponsorship donations by local businesses.  Love these artists!
