In January, the Arts Council of Wayne County announced the beginning of an Executive Director search to identify the organization’s next leader.

After an extensive process led by a Search Committee, the Board of Directors is pleased to announce the appointment of Mrs. Anna Hinson.

Anna, pictured with Board Chair Nathan Lean (L) and Board Vice Chair Coral Villanueva (R), has been a faithful advocate of the arts for years and is an anchor in our community. In her previous role as the Arts Council’s Programs and Marketing Director, Anna navigated the organization through the pandemic, grew its programs and classes, and demonstrated vision and passion that have led to many recent successes.

In her new role as the head of the organization, she will build on these accomplishments and nurture relationships with people and organizations who make Wayne County such an exceptional place to live and work. She begins this new chapter with the full support of the Arts Council’s Board and staff, and the organization is proud to have her at the helm.
