We gathered around a vision: Blue Note Junction
“Trying to build affordable housing in Asheville — I don’t know if you ever tried, but it’s challenging. It’s challenging. So, we ain’t afraid of no ghost, and we’re trying to make the hustle real.” ~ DeWayne Barton
Help Bring Blue Note Junction to Life: A Fundraiser
Join us for an inspiring evening in support of Blue Note Junction, a transformative vision for West Asheville’s Burton Street neighborhood. Blue Note Junction will bring together affordable housing, the arts, wellness, and community-driven entrepreneurship under one roof, with plans for a commercial/commissary kitchen + market, co-working + counseling, an outdoor community spa, performing arts, and retail shops. More than a building, BNJ is designed to be a cornerstone of Western North Carolina’s entrepreneurial ecosystem and a regenerative investment in community, culture, and local prosperity.
