Enter for a chance to win a one-of-a-kind guitar, handcrafted by Asheville luthiers Jayne Henderson, Kyle Landers, and Judson Riviere, using wood salvaged from the debris of Hurricane Helene. This stunning instrument, featuring white oak, red spruce, and flamed maple, showcases the artisans’ unique skills: Jayne’s expertise in crafting the body from local materials, Kyle’s masterful neck shaping, and Judson’s intricate binding and purfling. The custom fingerboard, designed to evoke the WNC mountains or a flowing river, is a testament to their collaborative artistry.

All proceeds will go to supporting the Local Artist ReLEAF Fund to aid Western North Carolina artists impacted by Hurricane Helene. The winner will be drawn on the LEAF Main Stage during the LEAF Festival, October 16-19, 2025.

Own a piece of resilience and craftsmanship while supporting a vital cause. Purchase your ticket now and help keep the creative spirit of WNC alive!

You do not need to be at LEAF Festival to win the Helene guitar, but the winner is responsible for claiming the guitar and for shipping, if you choose to do so.
LEAF is not responsible for any loss or damage that may occur during shipping.
All shipping arrangements and liability rest with the winner and the chosen shipping carrier. 

 

AN URGENT LETTER FROM THE LEAF BOARD:

For nearly 30 years, LEAF Global Arts has connected people through the power of art, music, and culture. Every shared moment has been made possible because of you – our community.

The LEAF Festival is critical to funding LEAF’s larger work: providing global cultural arts programming for thousands of local youth and preserving cultures and traditions around the world.

This year, we are facing a financial crossroads: between the loss of last fall’s Festival, losing a majority of our arts education funding in 2025, and not fully recovering from COVID, the future is bleak. The upcoming LEAF Festival could be our last if we don’t come together to sustain the heart of LEAF’s mission – but we have seen what this community can do when united for a cause greater than itself.

To open the Festival experience to as many people as possible, and to rally the full spirit of LEAF, we are offering a limited number of LEAF LOVE Tickets at a significant discount.

These special tickets, offered at 30% off (our highest discount, even more so than our Early Bird pricing) are our way of ensuring everyone has a place in this story. Full-priced tickets also remain available for those with the means to give a little more to help support LEAF’s vital work.

Your presence, your voice, and your support matter more than ever right now. Join us in making this LEAF Festival one that the world will never forget and ensuring the music continues for generations to come. 

Mayani is a Maasai boy from longido Arusha. He went to boarding school at 6 years old and lost his Maasai language and tradition. Since joining the LEAF program, he has learned to sing Maasai songs, practiced the ‘jump’ tradition and wear Maasai shukas (traditional clothing). Mayani is extremely happy and is currently teaching other youth the culture.
