Jessica O'Hearn, Brookline Arts Center

Our speaker this week will be Jessica O'Hearn, the new Executive Director at Brookline Arts Center.  Jessica will share her background, and her goals for the Brookline Arts Center going forward.

"I have had an interest in art since I was a child. I was always drawing and had very supportive parents who encouraged me to take art classes growing up. This eventually led me to enroll as a fine arts major at the Art Institute of Boston (now LUCAD). I pursued a career as a collaborative printmaker, attending the Tamarind Institute and managing print studios, while maintaining my own studio practice. I was working at the Segura Arts Studio as a collaborative printer when I realized I was more excited about promoting the community-focused mission of the organization than I was about printing or pursuing my personal artistic practice. That’s when my career pivoted more towards arts administration and pursuing a leadership role. In my position as Artistic Director and Curator at the Juliet Art Museum, I loved seeing children, families and artists engage with our art programs and exhibits."

Please help us welcome Jessica to Brookline!
