Janet R Petrell, born and raised in rural
Norther Minnesota and currently live and create in Kingston Springs, TN. I am a self-taught artisan who created her own medium of using zipper teeth to create art since 1979. The pieces are free form designed based upon zipper teeth inventory. Zippers are found and not purchased. One source of my zipp
ers comes from a home for developmentally disabled adults who shred clothing into rags. They save the zippers for me to use. I have created art for their home to give thanks for providing me with my “paint”. I often give back to the community donating my art pieces to many causes around Tennessee and the United States.I have two large commission pieces at the East Tennessee Children’s Hospital in Knoxville, TN. My art piece entitled Koi Pond recently won first place in multimedia category at the Art in the Park event in Kingston Springs, TN. I have exhibited 
my work at juried fine art fairs, galleries, museum exhibits and public art spaces in the US, Canada, Japan, and Europe.

You Can Make a Difference!
Membership Update 2018
The Arts Council of Williamson County greatly appreciates each and every member of our organization. Your membership supports artists and arts education through our programming such as the Artist in Residence Program, Micro Grants, Artists’ Studio Tour, Brown Bag Lunch Bunch, Grid Row, and Critter Invasion. We are reworking our membership to reflect our evolving needs 
and demands on volunteers.
As of March 2018, the Arts Council has moved to an annual membership rather than a rolling membership in which all membership renewals are due in March. If you wish to join today, we have temporarily discounted our membership until that date.
If you have any questions about this change in membership or would like make a greater impact on the arts in Williamson County through volunteerism, please email info@artsouncilwc.com.
