Volunteer Spotlight

Jana Johansen LMFA Volunteer

"I never knew how much I loved art until I came to LMFA," says front desk volunteer, Jana Johansen. Jana is often heard sharing this sentiment when she greets museum visitors. Jana loves being part of the museum team - working with staff and directors; meeting and talking with members and guests and bringing new members to the museum.

Since October of 2016, Jana has served as one of LMFA's key front desk volunteers making members and guests feel welcome. Now, she not only greets and assists members, guests and artists with their questions weekly, but she also tracks vital information needed for our grant applications and assists with our magazine and invitation mailouts. In 2020, LMFA awarded Jana with LMFA's Volunteer of the Year Award.

Jana has lived in Longview for 30 years but considers herself a native of Utah. When not assisting LMFA, Jana enjoys traveling, reading, working out, spending time with family, organizing and decorating.
