Thank you to everyone who has reached out following the fire. We’re deeply grateful. In the hardest moments, community shows up—and you have.
Our focus is on getting back to what we do: bringing live music, jobs, and momentum back to the RAD. We’re moving forward together on rebuilding Salvage Station, working through this latest challenge with a shared commitment to what comes next.
This historic Asheville Waste Paper structure has long been a meaningful part of the River Arts District, and we hope portions of it can be preserved and thoughtfully incorporated into the rebuild. Honoring what came before matters to us.
And to everyone who’s piped up about the Homer/Bender mural—rest assured, we love it too. We’re doing everything we can to keep it part of the story.
We’re not going anywhere. We’re not slowing down. We’re rebuilding—with purpose and with community.
— Salvage Station & the Pace family
