The Art Chose Me and Durham Tech
On April 23, 2025, the Robert & Mercedes Eichholz Foundation pledged $1.5 million to establish the Durham Tech Endowment for the Arts. Besides supporting arts-related activities at the College, the Foundation agreed that the funds could be used to fund an arts consultant to collaborate with and support Viva the Arts. I am excited to share that Durham Tech has selected me to serve as the Arts Program Consultant.
In this role, I will work with Durham Tech’s Viva the Arts Committee to develop, implement, and grow arts programs at the College. Broadly, the goal is to ensure the successful execution of arts initiatives that enrich Durham Tech’s cultural and creative landscape.
