Volunteer of the Month: Andrea Lingle
Andrea Lingle, Volunteer JAM Coordinator. Andrea and her husband, Luke, live in the North Carolina mountains with their children. She is passionate about creating space for creativity and imagination. Andrea has a Bachelor’s of Arts Degree in Music from Furman University and a Bachelor’s of Science Degree in Nursing from Duke University. Andrea is thrilled to be a part of JAM because it gives her and her children an opportunity to connect to the musical heritage of their mountain home. Thank you, Andrea for volunteering your time to make JAM a success!
Gallery Volunteering
Volunteering is perhaps the most important activity anyone can donate to HCAC. Gallery Volunteers keep our gallery open and allow HCAC to promote and sell artist member artwork. HCAC would not be where it is today without many dedicated individuals who give their time by sitting behind our docent desk, selling artwork and promoting HCAC programs.
Mural Painting
The Art Across Haywood program is a community and public art program that brings HCAC artist members and the community together to get creative and beautify Haywood County through public art. The purpose of the program is to create community volunteer opportunities for artist members and encourage at-large community members to engage and incorporate art into their daily lives while beautifying their town. In 2023, HCAC is working with schools and local businesses on public art murals.
Quilt Block Painting
HCAC’s quilt block studio is located at the Folkmoot Friendship Center and run by HCAC Board Member Janet Steinke and Artist Member Jeanetta Bair. These two amazing volunteers manage the entire quilt block creation process, which would not be possible without a team of dedicated painting volunteers! Volunteers help outline and paint quilt blocks and other quilt block merchandise sold in the Haywood Handmade Gallery. The studio is typically open on Tuesdays and Thursdays and volunteers sign up for two hour painting shifts. No experience is required! Come paint and make some new friends.
