Stokes County Arts Council - 500 Main Street  - Danbury, NC 27016 

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.
