(Inset) Hannah\u2019s latest work in progress<\/p><\/div>\n<p>By Emma Castleberry<\/p>\n<p>Thirteen-year-old artist Hannah Ray has been drawing since she was a toddler. \u201cI have always liked drawing in my free time,\u201d she says. \u201cIt helps me relax.\u201d Her favorite media are graphite and colored pencils, and finding inspiration is never a challenge. \u201cCreativity just comes to me naturally,\u201d she says. \u201cI always have a drive to draw or create something. I love coming up with new project ideas.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Hannah, who lives with her family in Henderson County and attends Rugby Middle School, is deeply involved with the community art scene. In 2019, she participated in the \u201cArtists of Tomorrow\u201d Show, hosted by the Arts Council of Henderson County, where her work won first place for the middle-school category. A photograph of that piece is currently displayed on Main Street in Hendersonville on an ArtScape Hendersonville youth art banner. She attends Open Studio Art Classes offered by the Arts Council, where she also serves as a student intern. Her artwork earned a blue ribbon in her age category at the Mountain State Fair in 2018 and 2019. Hannah\u2019s interest in art also extends beyond the sketchpad\u2014she has been dancing with Relev\u00e9 Performing Arts Center since the age of 4, and she plays the cello in the orchestra at Rugby.<\/p>\n<p>Recently, Hannah entered a drawing into the design contest for the Arts Council\u2019s 2021 Bearfootin\u2019 Bear. \u201cI thought it was a really good opportunity, and I wanted to try something new,\u201d Hannah says. \u201cIt was fun coming up with designs for the bear.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Each year, the downtown program hosts a live auction to raise funds for the Bearfootin\u2019 Art Walk and the many nonprofits that the bears represent. Winning bids up to $3,000 are split evenly between the downtown program and the winning nonprofit, while bid amounts that exceed $3,000 are directed to the nonprofit in their entirety.<\/p>\n<p>The board voted for designs with the artist\u2019s information removed and Hannah\u2019s was selected. She will be the youngest lead designer to participate in this public art tradition. \u201cHannah Ray\u2019s bear design <em>Harmonious Bears<\/em> encompasses everything we as an Arts Council work to preserve and support, from the music that rings through the mountains to the traditions that make this area unique,\u201d says Hannah Duncan, executive director of the Arts Council.<\/p>\n<p>Hannah joins the ranks of seasoned artists who have designed past bears, including Diane Dean, Miriam Hughes, Courtney Hoelscher and Laura Bell. The Arts Council set Hannah up in a Zoom meeting with a few artists who are well-known for their bear designs, and they gave her support, encouragement and advice as she started her design. \u201cShe is walking away with something she can put on her resum\u00e9 and gaining experience that goes beyond the classroom,\u201d says Duncan. \u201cWe couldn\u2019t be more thrilled for her.\u201d While it was coincidental, it is fitting to have a young designer for this year\u2019s bear, as the Arts Council has been focused on growing and expanding their Children\u2019s Art Programming this year. \u201cIt feels like everything has come full circle in a beautiful way,\u201d says Duncan.<\/p>\n<p>The young artist is honored and pleased to have the recognition, and also recognizes the important role of her design. \u201cI think public art is important because it shows what our community is and what we are like,\u201d Hannah says. \u201cIt\u2019s also a way for people to express themselves and make our part of the world more beautiful.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><em>The Bear Reveal event will take place on Thursday, May 13, from 5\u20137 p.m. at the Henderson County Tourism Development Authority (HCTDA) outdoor stage on South Main and the bear will be auctioned off in October. Proceeds will benefit the Arts Council of Henderson County and the Friends of Downtown.
