Grace has been with Arts Warehouse since the doors opened in December of 2017. With a highly creative and artistic background, Grace has made sure that art has been a part of her life in many capacities. With formal training in Studio Art and Art History, she received her BA from Stetson University in Deland, Florida. She began her post undergraduate career involving art in her life as much as possible. She received her K-12 Teaching certification in 2012, and developed programs locally such as at the Delray Beach Greenmarket “Budding Artists” activity tent. She also created a children’s course “Messy Hands” which invited children to explore the fundamentals of visual art in a very hands-on approach. Her experience with adult courses span from art therapy group classes at an outpatient therapy office to step-by-step painting classes.

Outside of arts education, Grace has significant experience in arts administration in varying arenas. She first learned of her interest in the administrative side while working as the Gallery Assistant at the Hand Art Center in Deland, Florida. Additionally, Grace was the museum assistant at the Cornell Museum, and worked in Arts Education at two Florida Art Museums. Before joining the team at Arts Warehouse in October 2017, Grace was the Gallery Coordinator, and then Director of Programming of Bailey Contemporary Arts where she curated & installed exhibitions, planned special events, worked with visual artists in residence, developed workshops & classes, and led children’s tours and activities. Grace is thrilled to bring her thorough arts experience and passion for the arts community to Arts Warehouse and Delray Beach.
