We’re so excited to introduce the newest ASI team member, Desiree Kee! Desiree is the new Progams & Outreach Coordinator at ASI which means that she will be working to develop new workshop topics and new avenues for programming. You’ll also probably see her out and about in the community, talking with artists across all regions and disciplines about how ASI can help support them.

We’ll let her tell you more about herself in the video you can watch at the link below, but here’s some fun facts we asked her to share:

Why are you excited to work at ASI?
I’m so excited to further my career in the arts with ASI and to establish more professional development and knowledge on curation. I also look forward to expanding my horizons through experiencing all of the many art communities within Western New York.
