Looking at US: Celebrating America’s 250th transforms downtown State College into an open-air gallery, bringing art into the flow of everyday life. I helped shape the early vision for the project and was later brought on as project manager, helping grow a cross-sector team spanning both town and gown to move the work from idea to public experience. Along the way, I helped develop strategic partnerships—including a meaningful collaboration with The Westmoreland Museum of American Art—that strengthened the project’s reach and impact.
