Blue Ridge Arts Council
Role: President of the Board of Directors, Blue Ridge Arts Council; Committee Member (17 years)
For nearly two decades, I have collaborated with our team to produce Deck the Halls, the Council’s largest annual fundraiser.
Each year, I design and contribute original holiday creations—unique, handcrafted pieces that bring artistry and festive spirit to the event.
This tradition not only sustains the Council financially but also strengthens community bonds, celebrates local creativity, and ensures the event remains a beloved highlight of the holiday season.
Impact:
Sustained fundraising success, supporting arts programming and outreach.
Elevated community engagement through festive, one-of-a-kind creations.
Reinforced the Council’s reputation as a hub for creativity and cultural celebration.
