fine art ‘WNC QuickDraw’ cont’d from page 23
benefitted so many art students and is great for our community.” For artist Jon Houglum, QuickDraw is one of his favorite events of the year, “With the fellowship with other artists, food, auction and the lovely location, it has been a delight for my wife and I each year and shall remain on our calendar of annual events. The community support continues to blow me away, and I hope that the economic conditions nationwide do not have a negative impact on the Quick Draw and the purpose for which it is presented.” Tara O’Loughlin, art teacher at Waynesville Middle School shares “QuickDraw has an understanding as to what art means to a culture and to our mountains. The funding QuickDraw provides my art program allows me to introduce mediums and materials that otherwise would not be monetarily possible. I cannot stress enough how integral QuickDraw is to sustaining a long history of arts in Haywood County.” Tickets are $50 in advance.
