Dani Brown Onto New Adventures

By Ann Talbott Brown, Director of Arts Education

Dani Brown will be leaving the Tennessee Arts Commission to join the St. Louis Art Museum as Assistant Educator in the Teacher and Student Learning Department. Dani came to TN Arts in 2015 as the Arts Education Special Projects Coordinator. In this role, she implemented the Poetry Out Loud State Contest, managed the Teaching Artist Roster, and supported hundreds of teachers during the Student Ticket Subsidy grants process. Dani has brought creativity, persistence, and a results-oriented nature to the position as well as a love for all things bumblebees! (You may recall the Collective Impact Conference logo design from 2016 which was inspired by Dani’s love for bees.) Her ability to imagine unique learning opportunities for people of all ages and willingness to work as part of a team will be greatly missed!

Dani’s last day will be Friday, June 30th. For Arts Education questions, please contact ann.brown@tn.gov.
