Hurricane Helene Art Collection by Kira Bursky Exhibit

Artwork exhibition in our community room during normal operating hours.

Artist Kira Bursky says, "After Hurricane Helene came through my town, I drew to process my feelings. The 31 drawings were created once a day during October. These drawings are dedicated to all those affected by Hurricane Helene and those who have gone through other experiences that have shaken up the world they know. I am inspired by art’s power to give us space to process, reflect, and heal. Thank you for taking the time to sit with these artworks. I send out my love and gratitude."

Multidisciplinary artist and filmmaker Kira Bursky (aka All Around Artsy) is inspired by mental health, creativity, and magic. An award-winning creator, Kira has produced more than 60 short films that have screened globally. She’s gone viral with over 25 million views across her films, art, and fashion work on platforms like Reddit and YouTube. In addition to her cinematic accomplishments, she sold 2,500 art NFTs and developed an immersive projection-based installation. Kira expanded her artistic repertoire with the launch of All Around Artsy Fashion, a wearable art brand that reflects her passion for dopamine dressing: wearing what makes you feel good. She is now planning the 2025 gallery exhibition tour of her Hurricane Helene art collection with scheduled stops in NC towns including Asheville, Lansing, and Murphy to name a few.

A reception with Kira is scheduled for Jan 16 at West Asheville Library from 6-8pm.
