Director
Throughout the year, the Guild provides
volunteers for Gallery 86, Art After Dark,
Gallery 86 Receptions, International Festival
Day, concert performances, outreach
programs, and HCAC office aid.   We are
always coming up with fresh ideas to help
raise money for the arts!  

      Join us and have fun!
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 HGuild 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.

and assist the Haywood County Arts
Council through volunteerism and
fundraising.
