The Stokes County Arts Council is pleased to announce the opening of a Fiber Arts Exhibit by Artist Janeise Harmon, in the Apple Gallery.
“Homage: A Celebration of American Coverlet Patterns and of the Women Who Wove Them” by Janeise Harmon.
Janeise Harmon, of Stuart, VA, received her Professional Crafts: Fiber AAS from
Haywood Community College (Clyde, NC) in 2024. She serves as the Program Director for the Gypsy Hollingsworth Fiber Arts Program, a division of Stokes County Arts Council in Danbury, NC. Janeise teaches introductory fiber arts classes in Stokes County and demonstrates her craft at
seasonal events. She is a member of the Homestead Weavers Exchange in Critz, VA and has exhibited artworks regionally in Stuart, Martinsville, and Roanoke.
Janeise shared, as her artist statement, “I am a handweaver living in Southwest Virginia making artworks that celebrate the material culture of Appalachia. The historical overshot patterns handwoven by this region’s foremothers are the inspiration for my work. Ever the enthusiast for bold design, I am particularly taken with the sweeping curves and geometric patterns that this weave structure is known for. In presenting these graphic designs as art, I seek to start
conversations and share stories about these remarkable homestead weavers and the processes they undertook to create warmth and beauty on their isolated homesteads.”
This exhibit will be on display through June 30, 2026, in the Apple Gallery. The Stokes County Arts Council is open to the public Monday through Friday, 9:00 am – 6:00 pm, Saturday, 10:00 am – 6:00 pm, and Sunday 12:00 pm – 6:00 pm. For additional information about the exhibit, please contact the Stokes County Arts Council at (336) 593-8159.

Moonshine Murders - Dec. 20, 2025. 2:00 p.m. - 3:00 p.m.
Murders over moonshine rocked the town of Fayerdale in the 1920s and 30s, leaving a dying town remembered for tragedy rather than the mining operations that once made it a boom town. Moonshining (illegal whiskey making) was quite prevalent in and around the Fairy Stone State Park area in the early 1900s. Jealousy, greed, and competition often led to feuds, brawls, and even killings. "Moonshine Murders" reveals the events which sparked a number of these murders.
Due to the gruesome nature of this topic, the program is recommended for ages 15 and older.

Murders over moonshine rocked the town of Fayerdale in the 1920s and 30s, leaving a dying town remembered for tragedy rather than the mining operations that once made it a boom town. Moonshining (illegal whiskey making) was quite prevalent in and around the Fairy Stone State Park area in the early 1900s. Jealousy, greed, and competition often led to feuds, brawls, and even killings. "Moonshine Murders" reveals the events which sparked a number of these murders.
Due to the gruesome nature of this topic, the program is recommended for ages 15 and older.

People Incorporated Financial Services has been awarded $300,000 through the Commonwealth’s Capital for Communities Fund (CCCF) to support and empower women entrepreneurs with accessible financial products and coaching. Funding will also support existing business lending and technical assistance across the agency’s 16 city and county service area. “This funding allows us to expand access to much-needed capital to historically underserved populations, including women-owned businesses and low-income community members,” said People Incorporated Director of Community Economic Development Stephanie Lillard. “Women entrepreneurs continue to face barriers to capital needed to grow or start their businesses, and we hope this funding will help break down walls and support the start-up and expansion of women-owned businesses across the commonwealth.” The Federal Reserve’s 2022 Small Business Credit Survey showed that women-owned businesses frequently encounter barriers to obtaining capital to support and grow their businesses. People Incorporated established People Incorporated Financial Services in 2000 to meet the financing needs of disadvantaged individuals and entrepreneurs in Southwest Virginia and has since expanded to serve the Northern Piedmont, Northern Shenandoah Valley and Greater Prince William regions with its loan products and financial services. People Incorporated is proud to be the only Community Development Financial Institution (CDFI) headquartered in Southwest Virginia.

People Incorporated Financial Services has been awarded $300,000 through the Commonwealth’s Capital for Communities Fund (CCCF) to support and empower women entrepreneurs with accessible financial products and coaching. Funding will also support existing business lending and technical assistance across the agency’s 16 city and county service area. “This funding allows us to expand access to much-needed capital to historically underserved populations, including women-owned businesses and low-income community members,” said People Incorporated Director of Community Economic Development Stephanie Lillard. “Women entrepreneurs continue to face barriers to capital needed to grow or start their businesses, and we hope this funding will help break down walls and support the start-up and expansion of women-owned businesses across the commonwealth.” The Federal Reserve’s 2022 Small Business Credit Survey showed that women-owned businesses frequently encounter barriers to obtaining capital to support and grow their businesses. People Incorporated established People Incorporated Financial Services in 2000 to meet the financing needs of disadvantaged individuals and entrepreneurs in Southwest Virginia and has since expanded to serve the Northern Piedmont, Northern Shenandoah Valley and Greater Prince William regions with its loan products and financial services.

People Incorporated Financial Services has been awarded $300,000 through the Commonwealth’s Capital for Communities Fund (CCCF) to support and empower women entrepreneurs with accessible financial products and coaching. Funding will also support existing business lending and technical assistance across the agency’s 16 city and county service area. “This funding allows us to expand access to much-needed capital to historically underserved populations, including women-owned businesses and low-income community members,” said People Incorporated Director of Community Economic Development Stephanie Lillard. “Women entrepreneurs continue to face barriers to capital needed to grow or start their businesses, and we hope this funding will help break down walls and support the start-up and expansion of women-owned businesses across the commonwealth.” The Federal Reserve’s 2022 Small Business Credit Survey showed that women-owned businesses frequently encounter barriers to obtaining capital to support and grow their businesses. People Incorporated established People Incorporated Financial Services in 2000 to meet the financing needs of disadvantaged individuals and entrepreneurs in Southwest Virginia and has since expanded to serve the Northern Piedmont, Northern Shenandoah Valley and Greater Prince William regions with its loan products and financial services. People Incorporated is proud to be the only Community Development Financial Institution (CDFI) headquartered in Southwest Virginia. Visit our website to learn more about our business loans and financial services or give us a call at 276-619-2297!

The Stokes County Arts Council is pleased to announce the opening of a Fiber Arts Exhibit by
Artist, Janeise Harmon, in the Apple Gallery. A reception is scheduled for Sunday, May 31, 2026
from 3:00-4:30pm at the Stokes County Arts Council 500 Main Street Danbury, NC.
Janeise Harmon, of Stuart, VA, received her Professional Crafts: Fiber AAS from
Haywood Community College (Clyde, NC) in 2024. She serves as the Program Director for the
Gypsy Hollingsworth Fiber Arts Program, a division of Stokes County Arts Council in Danbury,
NC. Janeise teaches introductory fiber arts classes in Stokes County and demonstrates her craft at
seasonal events. She is a member of the Homestead Weavers Exchange in Critz, VA and has
exhibited artworks regionally in Stuart, Martinsville and Roanoke.
Janeise shared, as her artist statement, “I am a handweaver living in Southwest Virginia making
artworks that celebrate the material culture of Appalachia. The historical overshot patterns
handwoven by this region's foremothers are the inspiration for my work. Ever the enthusiast for
bold design, I am particularly taken with the sweeping curves and geometric patterns that this
weave structure is known for. In presenting these graphic designs as art, I seek to start
conversations and share stories about these remarkable homestead weavers and the processes
they undertook to create warmth and beauty on their isolated homesteads.”
This exhibit will be on display through June 30, 2026 in the Apple Gallery. The Stokes County
Arts Council is open to the public Monday through Friday, 9:00am-6:00pm, Saturday,
10:00a.m.-6:00p.m. and Sunday 12:00pm-6:00pm. For additional information about the exhibit,
