October 02, 2024

Good morning. The Category 4 hurricane that hit the Gulf Coast and plowed its way inland has killed dozens of people, devastated homes and infrastructure, and left hundreds missing. Staff Reporter Rhea Nayyar speaks to artists and organizations in the particularly hard-hit city of Asheville in North Carolina, where Helene tore through the River Arts District. “Recovery is going to take years,” said Ruby Lopez Harper, executive director of the Craft Emergency Relief Fund.

Also today, a catalog for Elizabeth Catlett’s Brooklyn Museum show is a “gripping critical overview” of the revolutionary artist's contributions, writes art historian Aly Thomas, and Bushwick Open Studios is all grown up — read contributor Aaron Short’s observations from the annual event’s 18th edition this past weekend.

Our monthly Opportunities roundup, this year’s MacArthur Fellowship recipients, and much more below.
