WE ARE THRILLED TO WELCOME A NEW MEMBER TO THE ARTPLACE TEAM:
SARAH WESTLAKE JOINS AS MANAGING EDITOR!
A new position at ArtPlace America, Sarah joins us as our new Managing Editor and will be responsible for publishing a variety of rich content across multiple platforms to share the inspiring stories of people working at the intersection of arts, culture, and equitable community planning.
Sarah has been working and volunteering in the nonprofit sector for most of her professional career. Her last role was as the creative manager at the MS Society, a UK-based membership organization for people affected by multiple sclerosis. As well as seeing creative campaigns through from concept to delivery, she also managed a bi- monthly magazine, working with a team of community writers and bloggers. Sarah worked with a UK Government department to produce materials to help people with chronic health conditions stay in work. She has also run storytelling training, managed messaging, and taught writing for many organizations including the British Dyslexia Foundation, the Federation of Small Business and most recently, the NYC chapter of Showing Up for Racial Justice — where she is the volunteer Communications Coordinator.
