Board of Directors Members

Join the Board of Journey Arts
Journey Arts (formerly Intercultural Journeys) leverages the performing arts to catalyze social
change, challenge bias, and create spaces for dialogue. We uplift culturally diverse voices and
imagine a world where curiosity, empathy, and connection thrive.

● Champion the arts: Attend performances, serve as an ambassador in the community, and connect Journey Arts to new audiences and supporters.
● Fundraise and give: Commit to giving an annual personal contribution (suggested $1,000; minimum $100); and help secure additional resources through networks and advocacy.
● Collaborate: Serve on committees, engage in thoughtful dialogue, and work closely with staff and fellow board members.
● Lead with integrity: Uphold high ethical standards, support transparency, and foster a culture of equity and inclusivity.
