| Angela Walsh Noble - Past Chair Angela recently joined the Pemberton Arts Council in the Spring of 2020, and brings with her a variety of experiences in the non-profit arts sector including artist-run-centres board of directors, creating programming and helping to orchestrate special events. Angela has a particular passion for art education with over 20 years of experience teaching art to both the young in age and young at heart. Continuing to build on the already prominent place local arts and culture have for those in Pemberton and the surrounding area is a focus for Angela, as is locating/building a permanent space for PAC to call home and for the local arts to thrive. When not volunteering with PAC, Angela loves to spend her time in the great outdoors with her husband and dog, or in the great indoors with a good cup of tea, her easel, a canvas and some oil paint. |
