STAFF, ARTIST & COMMUNITY SUPPORT PROFILE: VALENTINA DEDAJ, FESTIVAL INTERN Administrative Assistant, An Appalachian Summer Festival Meet Valentina Dedaj– a friendly and familiar face of An ANNA GAUGERT Community Arts Education Coordinator, Arts Appalachian Summer Festival. This will be Valentina’s third year and Cultural Affairs working for the festival, and both her coworkers and festival patrons CHRISTY CHENAUSKY alike see her as an irreplaceable member of the festival team. Artist Relations Assistant, Arts and Cultural Affairs Dot Barber, festival volunteer, describes Valentina as, “always so JESSICA CLOUD (Master of Music Therapy, ‘10) upbeat and good humored. When I first met her she had that Festival Intern DANIELLE WEISHOFF memorable candy-apple red streak in her hair that let the world know Sales/Marketing Assistants, An Appalachian Summer Festival that behind the business gal was someone who could delight in the MALCOLM BENNETT (Graphic Arts, ‘10) whimsy of the world. Her sense of how to treat people is very astute for someone her VALENTINA DEDAJ (Elementary Education, ‘10) age and she seems to be able to find her way with all of the festival goers I have seen ANNA GAUGERT (Marketing & Management, ‘10) her interact with, as well as with the personalities of the volunteers. She is one of the people I look forward to seeing at the box office during the festival.” DAVID HODGE (Marketing) KELLY LAMB (Public Relations ) It is no surprise that Dot and others are so fond of Valentina. She has made it her HANNAH LEINBACH (Communication Studies) mission to make sure festival attendees enjoy themselves at each show. “People come to our shows to relax and see great performances, and whatever I can do to help that BEN WESEMANN (Studio Art ‘09) happen is a pleasure. Seeing people walk out of the auditorium with smiles on their CURTISS WILKINSON (Finance & Risk Mgt/Insurance, ‘09) faces is a wonderful feeling, and hearing how much someone enjoyed the show makes Production Staff, An Appalachian Summer Festival the long hours worthwhile,” Valentina says. CONOR MCKENZIE (Psychology/Anthropology) A senior Elementary Education major from Belmont, North Carolina, Valentina will CHARLES FAISON begin her student teaching in Raleigh in August with plans to graduate in December JASON PICKERING (Music History Alumnus) 2010.

MATTHEW LOPANE Valentina’s plans don’t stop there. She has her heart set on a future dream as well– KENNETH HARDY teaching children in Africa. LUCUS PEARSON (Accounting) The years of experience at An Appalachian Summer Festival have provided her with MARSHALL HICKS (Music Industries Alumnus) many life lessons, which include learning how to work under pressure and maintaining ANDREW COSTON a positive attitude. These lessons came into play during the finale concert with Kenny DANIELLE CURTIS Loggins during the 25th Anniversary season, which Valentina recalls as her fondest memory of the festival. “It was hard because we had to do the show without Sarah JUSTIN CURTIS Heustess, [Director of Sales and Patron Relations] who had to be out for a family Exhibitions Assistant, Turchin Center for the Visual Arts TRICIA COOKE (Studio Art) emergency,” she remembers. “Even though that night came with many mixed emotions, Gallery Assistants it was such a positive experience because I was so proud of the job everyone did. We KATIE ERICSON (Art Management) all stepped up and made the show a real success. Not having Sarah there by our side DIANNA LOUGHLIN (Art Management) was difficult, but staying up until two in the morning with the marketing team and PAYTON-ALEXIS BROWN (Apparel and Textiles) seeing that we had exceeded our goals because of everyone’s hard work, was amazing. The fact that Sarah knew that she could leave everything behind in our hands and deal Collection Assistants, Turchin Center for the Visual Arts LAUREL CREPEAU (Art History) with the issue in her family was very rewarding for me. Sarah has been more than a boss BEATRICE SCHMIDER (Art Management) to me over the years; she has been like a mother. I was so proud that she could leave Special Installations Assistant, Turchin Center and trust that we would do a great job and we all came together and succeeded in a for the Visual Arts big way.” KYLE FISHER (Art History, ‘09) Valentina’s three years working for An Appalachian Summer Festival have been Security Staff, Turchin Center for the Visual Arts enough time to leave a lasting impression on her supervisor, Sarah Heustess. Of her ANGIE BARKER (Graphic Design and English) time spent with Valentina, Sarah says, “I have enjoyed working with Vally for the SARAH BEAVER (Public History and Art History) past four years. It has been great to see how she has grown and matured in her role as a PAYTON BROWN (Apparel and Textiles) future teacher and a woman. Vally has been a valuable asset to me and has taken on a ALEX CARUSO (Communication Studies) great deal of responsibility when I have been away from work. It has been my pleasure JOSH EDWARDS (Communication and Marketing) to be given the chance to get to know her as a student and a lady. I will miss her after CARTER HARRIS (Arts Management) this summer. She will be hard to replace.” BEN JACKSON (Secondary Education and History) Valentina’s favorite part of the festival is seeing patrons return for the summer. “It KRISSY MIRACLE (Technical Photography and Art) feels so good to have people come back from the years before and remember my name LINDSEY RICKER (Anthropology and and face. I look forward to seeing everyone return and getting to greet people after a Sustainable Development) long winter. People like Mark and Nancy Tafeen become people that you care about and PAUL SAVOVICI (Graphic Design and Business) are excited to see.

BECOME A SUPPORTER! An Appalachian Summer Festival has developed into one WHERE THE MONEY GOES* of the most celebrated festivals in the region due in large part Marketing Administration to the extraordinary support it receives through individual and corporate giving. Still, the festival faces the challenge of rising 14% 16% artist fees, coupled with major reductions in foundation and endowment funding. Maintaining quality arts programming, quite simply, is expensive. Because the festival is committed to preserving affordable ticket prices, and making the festival accessible for all, ticket revenue covers only about 30% of the Personnel festival’s needed income. We therefore rely on the tremendous 16% generosity of our donors to help sustain the excellence of our arts and educational programs.
