HUTCHINSON, Kan. — The Hutchinson Art Center has its new Executive Director. Jacelyn Chambers began her new duties last month. The new leader of the art center is a lifelong Hutchinson resident.
Her entire childhood took place in a little duplex in one of Hutchinson’s many quiet neighborhoods. Chambers graduated from Hutchinson High School in 2015 and received an associate degree in fine arts with an emphasis in painting from Hutchinson Community College in 2017. She began working at the Hutchinson Art Center in the fall of 2015 as a part-time intern. After the remodel of the HAC gallery, she rejoined the team as Social Media Manager, which later grew into the Media Manager position by 2018.
Following Patrick Calvillo’s resignation as Executive Director in October 2020, Chambers picked up the mantle and continued to provide the community with a creative resource and gathering space, whether it be physical or digital.
Chambers says the arts have always been her passion, she wants to share that passion within Hutchinson’s community and make a long-lasting, positive impact on the arts culture.
