Long Serving Calaveras Arts Council Director Genochio Retiring & Mazzaferro Joins As Interim Director |
|
Posted by: thepinetree on 04/11/2016 04:17 PM
|
San Andreas, CA...With "Arts" full of gratitude, the Calaveras Arts Council announces the well-deserved retirement of Executive Director, Mary Jane Genochio. A long-time resident of Calaveras County, Genochio first became involved with the Arts Council at the organization's annual Cajun Fete, where, as she often said, she found herself “in charge of spreading butter on the garlic bread’’. She increased her involvement with the Arts Council through the years, serving as co-executive director with Penny West. When West retired in 2011, Genochio was appointed Executive Director. "Running a rural arts council isn't easy," West said. "You have to outreach everything, from music to gallery art to arts in education, not to mention finding funds in a small area of limited resources. Mary Jane took it all on. I applaud her for that." Over the last five years, Genochio has secured the artists for the county's beloved Music in the Parks series and highly acclaimed Ovations concert series, vigorously promoted local artists across a wide range of genres and mediums, and protected the financial stability of the Arts Council during an era of unprecedented national economic hardship. While she is retiring, Genochio won't be too far away; the Board of Directors recently voted to include Genochio as one of its members.
