After seven incredible years of leadership, ArtsConnect's Education Director, Lisa Zupon, will retire at the end of 2026.

Lisa transformed our educational programming from just 20 offerings to more than 90 classes, camps, workshops, and enrichment opportunities serving everyone from preschoolers to senior adults. Her passion, creativity, and dedication have shaped ArtsConnect in countless ways, and her legacy will continue to inspire future generations.

As we prepare for this next chapter, we're excited to announce that ArtsConnect is now hiring two full-time positions:

These new roles will allow us to continue growing with intention, expand programming opportunities, and prepare for future operations in the Annex building at The Grove.

Successful candidates will work alongside Lisa throughout the remainder of 2026, receiving hands-on training and mentorship to ensure a smooth transition and continued excellence in our programs.
