Jean Wilhelm, Arts Educator and Advocate
Longtime champion for the arts in Charlottesville, Jean Wilhelm wears many hats. She is an active member of the PCA Board, and also involved with Ash Lawn Opera, The Paramount Theater, VSA arts of Charlottesville/Albemarle, Charlottesville Festival of Cultures, and the Virginia Festival of the Book.
Jean also led a charge for arts advocacy to reduce budget cuts for the arts this past year. I’m inspired by her dedication to the arts and culture in this area.
