Arlaina Goddard - Assistant Director
Arlaina was raised in Pinedale and spent most her childhood snow-birding near Austin, TX where her love of music was fueled by frequenting concerts, performing small gigs, and playing her guitar and ukulele on main street Fredericksburg, TX. Arlaina worked at an art gallery in TX, before getting married and moving back to Pinedale with her husband. She then worked for the Museum of the Mountain Man as their graphic designer for 6+ years before getting hired on with PFAC. Other than being an avid camper, hiker and forager she spends most of her time making wild tea blends, adventuring with her toddler son and hanging out with her huge extended family.

Gracy Carpenter - Board Co-Chair
Growing up here in Pinedale, PFAC was a part of my childhood. After living in a large urban area I returned to Pinedale with even deeper appreciation for access to the arts. My son Symon, daughter Yulia, husband Scott and I love Wyoming's endless outdoor recreation opportunities AND getting to see world class musicians, acrobats dancers, and actors without driving for miles. I am currently a preschool teacher at Sublette BOCES Early Education Program; everyday is new discovering the world from my three year old students' perspectives!
Sid Stanfill - Board Co-Chair
After wandering the Eastern U.S. and spending 6 years in Europe, Sid settled in Wyoming. He has since retired from the Sublette County Library System and pretends to be ranching on his in-laws100-year-old ranch west of Pinedale. Having the opportunity to support the arts in Sublette County by joining the PFAC Board was a no-brainer.
Tesa Manning - Treasurer
Tesa Manning joined the Pinedale Fine Arts Council in 2016 and serves as the Treasurer. She received her Accounting degree from the University of Wyoming where she also minored in graphic design and spent as much time as she could in the art studio. She is a Sublette County native and a licensed CPA, operating her own firm in Pinedale. She loves the small town life, helping out on the family ranch, year-round PFAC shows, and the amazing access to the outdoors.
Brianne Brower
Brianne enjoys raising her kids in Big Piney and working at the Sublette County Fairgrounds for the past 9 years. She serves on the Chuckwagon Days Rodeo Committee and has been a past board member of the International Association of Fairs and Western Fairs Association. She stays active with both of those organizations. She thinks Art in all forms is good for every human being on Earth and loves being able to help bring amazing things to our County especially the schools.
Dorothy Grove
Dorothy Grove has served on the PFAC board for 17 years. Dorothy moved to Pinedale in 2002. Previously she served on Colorado State Consortium of Arts Councils, Colorado State Board for Very Special Arts, and as President and presenter for Moffat County Council of the Arts. Her speciality with PFAC is feeding visiting artists. You can often find Dorothy backstage before our shows feeding the artists who delight in having a home-cooked meal while on the road.
Matt Harber
Besides being a dark, handsome art enthusiast, Matt is husband to a total babe, father to four crazy good-looking boys, and an around the clock welder. He enjoys long walks on the frozen beach, sleep (from what he remembers about it), and really long board meetings. He is also big fan of art in all its forms.
Jenn Burton
Jenn was thrilled to join the board in 2018 and has worked with one of our umbrella organizations, Pinedale Theatre Company, for two productions. She served as the stage manager for Oliver! and was an ensemble performer in Beauty and the Beast. In her free time she can be found in the mountains on an adventure, spending time with her husband and dog, dancing to 90s R&B, and eating tacos. Jenn works at the Pinedale Library, teaches yoga classes at PAC, and looks forward to serving on the PFAC board for many years to come!
