Meet our new Events Coordinator, Cristian Padilla 👋

He’s a multidisciplinary, self-taught artist based out of Cary, primarily working in oil pastels and clay. With experience in both the art and nonprofit space, Cristian’s well-versed in community activation, creativity, and how to blend the two to create meaningful moments.

“Art has the power to bring all kinds of people together, sharing space, creating unforgettable experiences, and forming bonds that last a lifetime. I was lucky enough to attend July’s Last Fridays & The Art Walk and witness this firsthand. I am very excited to bring my passion for community, creativity, and fun to this lovely town, and I look forward to meeting many of you!”

Welcome to the team, Cristian! Make sure to say “Hi!” when you see Cristian out and about!
