Casey Blacksmithing with Heritage Village of the Southern Finger Lakes, Glassfest 2024, Corning, NY.
I have worked at The ARTS Council for 10 1/2 years as the Programs and Outreach Manager and I LOVE MY JOB! My job is not just a job to me. It's personal. Along with serving and meeting an amazing community of creatives, I have also been encouraged to pursue my own artistic endeavors.
I recently had my first book of poetry published, On Being... by FootHills Publishing. I have been a Blacksmith apprentice for almost 3 years, even receiving a New York State Council on the Arts Folk Arts Apprenticeship Grant for blacksmithing. Currently, I am in an original production about some of the fabulous women throughout history that have called Corning home, debuting in December.
All of these incredible opportunities came to me because of my work at The ARTS Council. I have personally lived the support, encouragement, services, resources, and funding that occur because of the dedicated staff at The ARTS Council and I am proud to help raise money for the organization that means so much to me on so many different levels.
