Stewards of public and private resources entrusted to us

Our stature as a model multi-purpose arts council and advocate for the arts is due — in large measure — to the enthusiastic and thoughtful efforts of our Board of Directors and staff. We work tirelessly through advocacy, grants to arts organizations, and innovative community-based programs — to encourage artistic development and growth.

Board of Directors

Meet our current Board members, whose passion for the arts, generosity, and commitment to community service enable so much of our work.

The Arts Council is governed by an independent Board of Directors and its bylaws. The Board is responsible for making strategic decisions, setting policy, ensuring legal requirements are met, and serving as a trustee of the Arts Council’s assets and resources. Our Board has established a legacy of responsible governance and strong fiscal management built on a commitment to excellence and diversity, thoughtful deliberation, and serving in the best interest of the Arts Council at all times.

Staff

Meet the passionate, dedicated group of arts professionals who work tirelessly to make the arts come alive in our community.

Our staff is responsible for managing the Arts Council’s programs and day-to-day operations and implementing Board policy. We bring over 40 years of convening, facilitating, and programming the arts; strong fiscal and administrative oversight; an exemplary record of working with arts groups and distributing grant funds through a peer-review process; and the respect of arts and community leaders alike.
