“Over the past eight and a half years, I’ve witnessed an incredible variety of projects, events, and exhibits, thanks to the talented and creative people we have on our team,” she said. “The ideas that come forward and blossom into opportunities for creatives, the connections we make with artists of all disciplines, the strong partnerships and relationships in our city and county – it is truly rewarding in so many ways.
