Supporting Community
The Quest was born of a deep love for Asheville's creative culture. For over a decade, the team has served the vitality of the region through projects, events, festivals and collaborative experiences with and for the community. This project is the tangible expression of our dedication to the ongoing evolution of Asheville, especially at this time in the region's history.

Our public benefit legal structure enables us to support artists and communities while operating a healthy, resilient business that is at the forefront of an industry.
Our ethos is Asheville First - Asheville is our first choice for everything from talent to goods and services. We then look regionally, then statewide.
That means:
- Nearly 50% of revenue is planned to go directly back to the local economy - that's tens of millions of dollars a year
