Jean Wenner ~ Artist, Art Innovator and Advocate, and Friend will sorely be missed...

Jean Wenner, founder and former Director of the Council for the Arts passed away December 14, 2010. She truly enriched her community and left a positive legacy in her memory. Her impact on Onslow County concerning the Arts is beyond measure as a pioneer with vision for the arts in our community. She was dedicated to her family and extended family of friends and artists. She opened doors and created many opportunities for countless local artists (myself included) who will forever be grateful for her dedication. She was an accomplished artist whose work crowns many collections throughout the country.

The community has lost a great artist and art advocate... Tami, Olivia, and I have lost a great friend. I am so glad that she got see the "Jean Wenner Art Library and Studio" named in honor of her and her many, many contributions to the arts and our community. She can never be replaced but she will always be remembered! Thank goodness her legacy will live on through her family and friends!
