Women's Network February Luncheon 2014

Do you care about student achievement? Is the economic development of our city and state an interest of yours?
Gain a different perspective as we explore, “What’s Art Got To Do With It?” at our February meeting. Marie Nau Hunter, former manager of the City of Columbia Office of Cultural Affairs (OCA), will illustrate how these important issues can all be positively impacted by the arts and how Columbia compares to other communities.

During Marie's 10-year tenure managing the OCA, Columbia was named the state's first ever "Creative Community" by the Missouri Arts Council and the Missouri Department of Economic Development and regularly ranked number one in the Missouri Arts Council's Community Arts Program statewide granting. Over the years, Marie has served on numerous panels for the Missouri Arts Council as well as its Arts Awards Committee, has chaired the Missouri Alliance for Arts Education's Advisory Council, was a member of Americans for the Arts Public Art Network and served on the alumni board of MU's College of Arts and Science.

Currently, Marie serves as a regional vice president for Missouri Citizens for the Arts, is a Community Arts Program panelist for the Missouri Arts Council and serves on the board of the Community Foundation of Central Missouri.
