Living Arts Appreciates Erika Villarreal Bunce

This month, Living Arts is sharing our deep appreciation for Erika Villarreal Bunce, our Director of Programs, who is leaving her position to attend to needs in her personal and family life.

 Erika has been an incredible force in Living Arts’ program innovation and expansion for the past six years--impacting thousands of young people, Teaching Artists, educators, and families. She helped establish Living Arts as the leading provider of early childhood performing arts services in the region and created amazing opportunities for our youth artists to work with and learn from master artists. In our after-school space, her leadership elevated and centered youth and parent voices and strengthened our community of families. 

We will miss her convictions, artistic sensibilities, and friendship, but are endlessly grateful that we will continue to have her in our corner, advising and cheering us on. Please join us in wishing Erika the absolute best!
