The website ArtsFwd.org, part of a new initiative of the organization EmcArts, recently featured Crow’s Shadow as part its overall mission for sharing and discussing the issues and innovative success stories within the field of arts and culture organizations.
Eleanor Whitney, program officer for external affairs and fiscal sponsorship at the New York Foundation for the Arts and blogging fellow for ArtsFwd, interviewed Crow’s Shadow Interim Executive Director Melissa Bob to talk about the challenges of leading a rural-based arts nonprofit.
Whitney writes:
“I had the opportunity to visit the institute and was given a tour by Melissa Bob, its new Interim Executive Director. Melissa is a tribal citizen of the Lummi Nation, located in Bellingham, Washington and recently completed her Master’s in Public Administration and Tribal Governance. I was struck by her energy, enthusiasm and vision for addressing the organization’s challenges and finding new opportunities for the center and the Native artists that they work with.”
