I’ve been an Americans for the Arts member now for well over a decade. I first experienced the organization as a means to get away from my city, travel to a new city, and meet others interested in the arts. Over the years it has become much more to me.

As leaders in the arts field, Americans for the Arts staff advance topics in the arts and provide platforms for discovery. The organization has shaped and supported my work as a public art administrator by hosting conferences that promote new ideas and expose best practices in the field. Americans for the Arts has helped shape ideas and insights that bridge my passion with practice.

The many relationships and experiences I've had as a member of Americans for the Arts have helped grow my career as an arts administrator. I hope to bring the experience full circle as a new public art network council member supporting Americans for the Arts.
