"I am extremely honored to accept the position of artistic director for this dynamic organization. Keith Rawlins has presented a long list of outstanding performances for the past 15 years and I am eager to make a positive contribution to future programming. I look forward to promoting the variety of series we offer, but especially our Arts in Education series that brings professional artists to all Darke County schools grades K-12. DCCA is one of only a handful of organizations across the U.S. that provide this cultural enrichment to students free of charge. The 41st DCCA season is set to kick off July 12th with Barbecue and Blues held on the Greenville library lawn. I appreciate the community support of this event and look forward to serving our Trustees, Patrons and Sponsors for the upcoming season."
