ELIZABETH SMITH TO LEAVE SHARON ARTS CENTER
|
|
 SHARON, NH - - - The Board of Directors of The Sharon Arts Center has announced that Elizabeth Smith, Executive Director, will be leaving the organization.
Smith, who has served in that capacity for the past five years noted, "I have had five very rewarding years with Sharon Arts, and have greatly enjoyed the opportunity to give back to the community in the non-profit world. I have the opportunity to return to my roots in finance, and feel that with the amazing staff I have put in place at Sharon Arts Center, and the Board of Trustees that is in place, I can feel good about moving on to take on new challenges in the corporate world". She went on to say, "I am fully committed to working with the interim Director so that the transition will be as seamless as possible". Bob Pettegrew has recently been assisting Sharon Arts with its capital campaign. His background is in senior corporate management, marketing and fundraising, and he has served on a variety of non-profit boards in the Monadnock Region. The mission of Sharon Arts Center, a non-profit organization, is to support and serve artists and craftspeople, to engage the community in the artistic process, and to foster the relationship between artists and the community through education, exhibitions, the promotion and sale of art and craft, as well as through special programs and events. Sharon Arts offers a wide variety of art classes and programs in the school facility in Sharon, NH, and has an Artists' Resource Center (selling art supplies), a Fine Craft Gallery, a Juried Artist Member Gallery, and an Exhibition Gallery in the Depot Square facility. Sharon Arts is sponsored in part by the New Hampshire State Council on the Arts, the New Hampshire Charitable Foundation, The Gilbert Verney Foundation, The Susan A. and Donald P. Babson Charitable Foundation, and the Grimshaw-Gudewicz Charitable Foundation. |
