The Arts Council of Fayetteville/Cumberland County announced today that Antonio Renteria, director of operations for the council, was selected for the Emerging Leaders of Color program.
Renteria was selected for the ELC program because of his tireless work and leadership in the Arts industry. He has over five years of arts administration and event management experience. Some of his work includes expansion of the ArtScape Public Art Program, the annual production of large-scale events like the International Folk Festival and A Dickens Holiday,
and the day-to-day operations of the Arts Council’s facilities at The Arts Center on Hay Street.
“I am committed to building relationships with local artists, nonprofit organizations, and other community partners who make Fayetteville a vibrant and welcoming community for artists and other creatives,” said Renteria.
Currently, Renteria oversees community engagement for the Arts Council. He also is the staff liaison to the Exhibits Committee.
ELC is partnered with South Arts and the Western States Arts Federation.
Joy Young, vice president of programs at South Arts, said, “The ELC program offers course works and activities designed to strengthen leadership competencies, establish networks of support to your career and your aspirations, and engage with a faculty of national leaders in the arts.”
