Zamnesia invites artists from across North Carolina, along with dreamers and visionaries, to channel their creative energies for a noble cause—rebuilding and strengthening our beloved Asheville community through the impactful work of Beloved Asheville. 

Participate in the "Art for Asheville" initiative and contribute to designing the exclusive packaging for our new cannabis strain, Blue Ridge Haze Automatic. All profits from this initiative will be directed to Beloved Asheville’s restoration efforts following Hurricane Helene’s devastating impact.

Celebrate Asheville Strong

Our theme, "Asheville Strong," empowers artists to capture the resilience, spirit, and natural beauty of the Asheville and Weaverville areas. Let the majestic Blue Ridge Mountains and the vibrant artistic spirit of Asheville inspire your creativity!

Beloved Asheville: The Chosen Beneficiary

We have chosen to partner with Beloved Asheville for this initiative because of their direct and heartfelt commitment to grassroots efforts in rebuilding and uplifting communities. Their hands-on, boots-on-the-ground approach mirrors our own values of sustainability, community, and creativity, making them an ideal partner in ensuring that every effort counts towards meaningful change.

Our initiative is a testament to our gratitude and commitment to aid in the city's recovery and growth. This initiative is not about profits but about harnessing the power of art for meaningful change.
