Margot, the founder of Art for All, has been an active member of the Concord art community for over 30 years. She is passionate about bringing people together and strengthening the foundations of our community through the making and displaying of art.

Sue first experienced Art for All back when it was known as the Art Gym, attending a vibrant workshop making Valentine’s Day cards. Art for All (and Margot’s) magnetic draw quickly converted her to a regular volunteer, contributor to community art murals, Board member and giant fan. Currently she also chairs the West Concord Cultural District Committee, making a perfect pairing for collaborative community efforts.

Kara approaches her board role with a focus on structure and process, and a deep love of spreadsheets. A lifelong maker from a family of the same, she uses her creative energy and systems mindset to organize projects and ensure there’s always a shiny item in the mix.

Roberta joined Art for All inspired by her curiosity and passion for the arts. She brings a diverse background in executive production for film and television, along with valuable experience from her work in a contemporary art gallery in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.

Mike is a talented painter, as well as carpenter and gardener and leader of Boy Scouts. You can see three of his paintings at the Dunkin Donuts in Concord Center. He takes commissions - when he isn't too busy at Art For All!

Linda was excited to find Art For All at the beginning of 2023. She relocated from Chapel Hill where she was very active in the art community as chair of the county Artists Guild and president of the Hillsborough Gallery of Arts, an artist-owned gallery. Linda loves to organize and in Art For All, she has found the perfect balance of working with others, involvement in art and enhancing the community she now calls home.

Laurie loves to find ways of bringing the joy of art making to people of all circumstances. She has brought her skills as a lawyer, an artist and a teacher to growing Art for All’s programs, in particular Arts and Crafts Club with people with cognitive differences. You can see her work laurieengdahlart.com. Laurie is also on the board of Gaining Ground.

Dawne brings a deep appreciation for the power of art-making to inspire self-expression and promote healing, along with a passion for the cultural value of the arts in our everyday lives. Dawne's background includes gallery management and graphic design. She holds a BFA in Painting, Photography, and Expressive Arts Therapy from the University of the Arts in Philadelphia. You can explore her work on Instagram @osborina.

Clare has been a helpful volunteer and a prolific contributor to art projects since the winter of 2022. She came to us through the Launch program at Concord Carlisle High School, a program that helps recent graduates with cognitive differences attain work and life experience. Since 2023, Clare became the first recipient of the Three Stones Gallery Apprenticeship. We are incredibly fortunate to have her working with us making art work and assisting with maintenance of the studio.

Richard is a long-time AfA collaborator and brings a wealth of experience & artistic know-how to everything he does. He spearheaded the 250th Lantern project, and as the Chief Lantern Wrangler he makes sure it appears around town for important events both large and small. When he’s not otherwise engaged with one of his many civic responsibilities, you can find Richard teaching yoga, hosting open-mic nights, or biking the BFRT.
