Arts Coordinator/arts Publication Editor

[starjewel]

My dedicated support of the visual and literary arts to promote education and community involvement, commitment building collaborations amongst organizations, and my appreciation for the importance of arts in the public and private arenas provides devoted energy and creativity to arts organizations in need of an exhibit/event coordinator and public relations associate.

 

My broadened involvement in the Art Community embraces superior creative service to art patrons, students, and artists worldwide. Highly efficient and able to work with grace under pressure, my administrative abilities include the capacity to coordinate staff, develop special assignment projects, manage multiple priorities and delegate duties.

 

Additionally, my natural dedication and commitment as well as my proven ability building and working in artistic environments provides ample and valuable proficiency interacting with numerous organizations and individuals to achieve high quality presentations, service, and communication.

 

Sincere Thanks,

J. Smith
