Meet and Greet with Kelly Lao

Join us and meet our new Director, Kelly Lao. The Muscatine Art Center will be open so you may also view our current exhibitions. Refreshment will be served. There will be remarks at 6:00 PM.
Lao is eager to capitalize on the community enthusiasm for science, culture, and art in Muscatine, and expand the legacy of the Muscatine Art Center. “As I begin this new chapter as Director of the Muscatine Art Center, I am inspired by the opportunity to build on the institution's remarkable legacy while imagining what the future can be,” Lao said. “I believe museums have the power to spark creativity, bring people together across generations and cultures, and serve as dynamic spaces where art, history, and community can intersect.”
Lao is excited to connect and work with the staff, volunteers, and the community to enhance the learning experience of the Muscatine Art Center. “I look forward to working alongside the dedicated staff, supporters, volunteers, and the Muscatine community to ensure the Art Center continues to be a vibrant destination and essential resource for generations to come."
