As executive director at New City Arts, Maureen Brondyke works alongside a small team and artist-led board to provide artist grants, increase access to free studio space, support paid artist fellowships and residencies and operate a low-commission gallery. She co-founded Charlottesville’s CreativeMornings chapter and co-chaired the Creative Workers Committee for Charlottesville’s Cultural Plan. She served as a guest juror for The Bridge PAI, Virginians for the Arts and the Shenandoah Valley Art Center. Brondyke is a recent alumna of a National Arts Strategies leadership cohort. Most of her creative energy these days is spent building legos and train tracks with her two kids.
