Celebrating the Art of Helen Jackson
Old Main Arts & Heritage Center would like to extend a heartfelt thank-you to Helen Jackson’s family for hosting such a wonderful art celebration in her honor. We are delighted to have been part of this special occasion and to welcome friends, family, and community members together to celebrate Helen’s remarkable artistic journey.
Helen Jackson’s art reflects a lifelong love of creativity, learning, and artistic expression. A proud member of the Nicholas County High School Class of 1952, Helen continued to pursue her passion for art through her studies at the Terry Art Institute in Miami, Florida.
Her artistic journey includes her time with Bright of America and her involvement with the Summersville Art Group, where she shared her appreciation for art with others in the community.
Helen’s work represents more than artistic talent. It tells the story of a woman who continued to create, grow, and share her gifts throughout her life. Her dedication to art is an inspiration and a reminder that creativity has no age limit.
As we celebrate Helen Jackson and her beautiful body of work, we honor not only the art she has created but also the passion, perseverance, and love of creativity behind it.
Thank you, Helen, for sharing your talent with our community and allowing us to celebrate your remarkable artistic journey.
With appreciation for Helen Jackson and her lasting contribution to the arts in Nicholas County.

A few more pictures that I’ve picked up from people who attended the 50th class reunion for the 1976 class at the Old Main Arts and Heritage Center this past Saturday, it was my big loss, being on vacation. It seemed like everybody truly enjoyed themselves in our big beautiful building on the hill, which we see as a “Beacon on the hill.” It is a pleasure to be able to work with and to showcase this building, the building that so many of us remember as young people going through , we all remember the up one staircase, down another staircase and so forth, It’s very humbling experience for me to be able to be the president of the foundation. I will continue as the president for the upcoming year, along with Nancy Thomas as your vice president; Terri Kiser, your treasurer; Patty Giles as your secretary. As in anything, nothing can be done without the most fantastic volunteers, and the foundation has volunteers that go way above and beyond to see that when something is presented in this building that it is done 100% with professionalism, and precision.
We invite you to come back, as well, we invite you to volunteer to help us, as we continue to see this “Beacon on the Hill ”glow in the daytime, and the night. (Benjean Rapp)
