SALINA ARTS & HUMANITIES
ANNOUNCES NEW ARTS EDUCATION
COORDINATOR
Brad Anderson, Executive Director of Salina Arts &
Humanities, announces that Sarah Keck has been selected as the agency’s
new Arts Education Coordinator.
A native of Altamont, MO, Keck
most recently lived and worked in
Kansas City, Kansas. She worked as a
graduate assistant in the Kenneth J
LcBudde Collections Department of the
Miller Nichols Library and as a host
coordinator for music festivals held on
campus. She also has taught middle and
high school instrumental music while
being an active low-brass clinician and
private studio instructor within the
Kansas City Area.
“My experience coming from a
small community and working in a city
supported by a family of musicians and educators allowed me to see the
impact of accessible opportunities within the arts. I look forward to bringing
these combined interests and experiences to serve the community of Salina,”
says Keck.
Keck holds a bachelor’s degree in Music Education with a K-12
certification from the UMKC Conservatory and will complete her Masters in
Performance at the UMKC Conservatory this summer.
“Sarah’s experience in the classroom as a music educator and her
work in coordinating events makes her an excellent choice for the Arts &
Humanities staff,” said Anderson. “She will be a tremendous resource for
teaching artists, musical performers, and the community.”
As of June 1, Keck will oversee the Smoky Hill River Festival’s
Entertainment selection, booking, and scheduling. She will also oversee the
Arts Infusion Program in local schools and serve as the staff liaison for Friday
Night Live entertainment and activities.
