In the Fall of 2004, There were several
people in the old HCAC office doing a
newsletter mailing. Jane Lesesne casually
commented that the Haywood County
Arts Council needed a Volunteer
organization like a Guild. The see was
planted, and in February 2005, the Guild
of the Haywood County Arts Council was
born. The first slate of officers was
installed in May 2005. They were
Norretta Taylor, Sharon Hall, Pat Wall,
Jenny Nimnick, and John Shafer.
We are a group of volunteers from all
walks of life who are interested in the arts.
We are natives to Waynesville, and
newcomers, seasonal and full-time
residents. We understand the importance
for maintaining the arts for the good of
Haywood County.
The Guild's mission is to promote, support
and assist the Haywood County Arts
Council through volunteerism and
fundraising.
