After 231 long days, New Morning Gallery reopening is finally a reality. The lights are on. The doors are open. The creative spirit has returned to one of the most cherished fine craft galleries in the Southeast. Since 1973, this historic space has been a cornerstone of Asheville’s arts community. It features handcrafted work by American artists, including GaleForce Design Jewelry.
In late September 2024, Hurricane Helene devastated Asheville and nearby areas. The French Broad and Swannanoa rivers overflowed after record-breaking rainfall. Some locations saw more than 24 inches of rain. As a result, flooding led to landslides, damaged roads, and washed-out bridges. The city’s water treatment plant was also hit hard. Many residents lost access to clean water for weeks. In addition, over 30,000 homes and businesses lost power. Recovery efforts took months.
Now, there is reason to celebrate. The gallery has reopened with fresh displays and renewed energy. Most importantly, it remains dedicated to the handmade artistry that has defined it for more than 50 years. Artists and visitors are finally returning. They are eager to reconnect with the work and the community. The New Morning Gallery reopening is not just a comeback. It is a symbol of resilience and hope.
If you have missed exploring the gallery’s peaceful rooms, now is the perfect time to visit. You may discover a new favorite piece. The story of creativity and connection continues. GaleForce Design Jewelry is proud to be part of it.
