Joanne Stewart – Program Facilitator
Spending 40+ years in Kalamazoo raising a family and working in Independent schools, both in the classroom and as an administrator, Joanne has always found time to be involved in her community. After moving to the area full-time, Joanne wanted a purposeful way to be involved in the community and joining the Good Hart Artist Residency felt like the perfect fit. Joanne enjoys meeting the visiting artists and working with our volunteers and community partners to celebrate art. In her spare time, Joanne loves to knit and do other needlework, especially when the north wind howls and she can’t be outside!
