The Tri-County Arts Council announced Thursday the appointment of Megan Davis as the new executive director.
With a deep commitment to the arts and community engagement, Davis has more than 10 years of experience in non-profit management.
Davis is the former executive director of Interfaith Caregivers, where she led a volunteer transportation program for the elderly and a community gift-giving program, The Gift Tree. More recently, Davis served as trust specialist at Nottingham Trust, a division of Community Bank N.A.
Known to the council for previously serving as assistant to the former executive director Mikel Wintermantel before his retirement in 2022, Davis has been instrumental in fostering the collaboration of community mural projects such as the Meg Saligman mural on the SUNY Jamestown Community College Cattaraugus County Campus in Olean.
“I’m excited to be joining the Tri-County Arts Council team where I hope to continue its mission of advocating for the creation and appreciation of the arts in Cattaraugus, Chautauqua and Allegany counties, furthering its work of supporting artists and enriching our communities,” she said.
Paula Bernstein stepped down this month as TCAC executive director; she’s the new assistant director of The Regina A. Quick Center for the Arts at St. Bonaventure University.
TCAC, established in 1997, is a nonprofit organization dedicated to supporting, promoting and sustaining the arts. Through a variety of programs, grants and initiatives, the council strives to provide access to the arts for all members of the community, foster creativity and enrich the cultural landscape of the region.
“We are happy to welcome Megan Davis as our new executive director,” said Scott Reed, president of the TCAC board. “With her experience and passion for the arts, we are confident that she will continue to elevate the council’s mission and lead us into an exciting new chapter.”
Davis will lead the council’s strategic vision and continue to build on its strong foundation. Among priorities are enhancing programming, expanding community outreach, recruiting volunteers and diversifying funding.
