Upstairs Artspace Welcomes New Board Member

Upstairs Artspace in Tryon is pleased to announce the addition a new member to its Board of Directors: Libby Skamfer. She attended her first board meeting this spring.

“Our Board of Directors brings together a committed group of professionals united by a shared vision, to help Upstairs Artspace flourish as a gathering place for creativity and connection in our community,” said Board President Sandy Miller. “We’re thrilled to welcome Libby, and we are eager to utilize her insights, creativity, and enthusiasm as we continue our mission here at Upstairs.”

Libby Skamfer is the new board member and serves on the Exhibits Committee, bringing artistic experience and creative energy. After a career as a master goldsmith, Skamfer now focuses on painting in acrylic and mixed media at her home studio. 

“I’m honored to join the Upstairs board - a passionate team of art lovers and art advocates who generously give their time and energy to promote a memorable art experience,” she says. 

As a member of the Exhibits Committee, Skamfer hopes to broaden the net for attracting artists, expand community and youth art educational programs, and develop new ways to expose new art to new audiences.
