<\/a>On the January City Matters program on CSi 10 THE REPLAY CHANNEL, \u00a0she said she moved to Jamestown just before Thanksgiving to accept the position. She pointed out adapting to Jamestown\u2019s cold winter temperatures.<\/p>\nShe grew up in New Jersey and received a Bachelor of Fine Arts from Corcoran College of Art and Design in Washington, D.C., and later earned a Master’s in Printmaking from the University of Sydney in Sydney, Australia.<\/p>\n
Before coming to Jamestown she oversaw the Prior Fine Arts Work Center, educational program, in Provincetown, Mass.<\/p>\n
Wish is also an artist who works in printmaking and has worked as the interim executive director for ArtWorks!, a community-based museum in New Bedford, Mass.<\/p>\n
She applied for the Arts Center position almost on a whim, browsing jobs on Americans for the Arts website, and the Arts Center job caught her eye.<\/p>\n
She saw the Jamestown Fine Arts Association’s financial information was good, and then applied.<\/p>\n
She said it was also unusual for a smaller organization like the Arts Center to be doing a national search for a new director.<\/p>\n
Wish added that the Arts Center in Jamestown is much more community minded than most art centers, such as the artists in the schools program, the after-school programs, working we with the Anne Carlsen Center, and the gallery space.<\/p>\n
She added that she\u2019s pleased that there is a downtown in Jamestown, and that there is a focus on developing the downtown area.<\/p>\n
She succeeds Taylor Barnes in the position, as Ms. Barnes retired in 2014.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
