The Westport Center for the Arts board of directors has promoted Taylor Brown to Executive Director. Brown has been serving as acting executive director. According to board president Scott Myers,” her artistic skills, her communication skills, her energy and leadership make her the perfect person to lead our sixteen-year-old creative, community arts initiative. Taylor’s eight years of experience in other dimensions of WCA’s work gave us confidence that she could take the leadership baton in a mission to uncover hidden beauty and meaning in Kansas City through thearts of theatre, music, the Dancing Word (merging poetry and dance), art exhibits, Arts for Justice, and the possibility of reinventing creative children’s arts programming WCA has previously done. We are proud of her great work!”
