OFFICIAL WELCOME

We are excited to welcome Connie Geston to our Carpinteria Arts Center team. Many of you may already know Connie because she has been one of our star volunteers over the past two and half years! Connie has volunteered countless hours as a gallery host, served on our exhibition team, helped lead many of our events, and was instrumental in producing our summer arts camp last summer.

She has a long history with non-profits working in the arts, performing arts, and music production. She served on many committees and boards, including the board of directors and several committees at The Alcazar Theatre, and she was the volunteer coordinator for the California Avocado Festival.

We are thrilled she has joined our team as our new Administrative Specialist. She will help oversee site management, volunteers, programs, the gallery and numerous other areas of the Carpinteria Arts Center.
