I am thrilled to be part of this year’s Grand Canyon Conservancy Art Exhibition Program as contract curator for the September 24 - March 30, 2027 invitational art exhibition at Kolb Gallery!  Impactful connections made participating in the ASU Conservation Futures Academy the Futures of Conservation Leadership class opened this opportunity for deeper engagement in sustainability and conservation efforts through the arts! GCC’s Celebration of Art partners with professional artists from around the world, making connections through cultural programming at the Grand Canyon. This year’s program is in support of a future, permanent art venue that will exhibit contemporary artists dedicated to showcasing their art collection spanning 100 + year.
