Flower City Arts names new executive director
Kristin A. Rapp is the new executive director of the Flower City Arts Center, its board announced Thursday.
The appointment became effective on Feb. 20. Rapp succeeds Cheryl McKeiver, who left the organization last year.
Rapp is a social entrepreneur, therapist, published author and artist with a certificate in Strategic Nonprofit Leadership and a background in clinical supervision as a Licensed Master of Social Work (LMSW). She founded and ran a nonprofit organization that educated and employed through arts, technology and creative entrepreneurship and ran a private therapy practice for individuals and couples.
“It is an honor to be chosen to lead the Flower City Arts Center, which has a solid reputation and artistic imprint in the Rochester community,” Rapp said, adding she is happy and excited to work with the Flower City Arts Center team. “Together we can collaboratively carry forward the vision and dream up possibilities with fresh perspectives and innovative ideas, meeting them with boots on the ground action, in order to breathe new life into the center. We can expand our brand, forge new partnerships, widen our scope and deepen the impact of this powerful arts learning work.”
Flower City Arts Center is a community-based not-for-profit that educates, encourages and inspires all people to create and enjoy the visual arts.
