On February 8th, 2024, Kirkland Arts Center (KAC) was thrilled to welcome David Lynx as our new Executive Director during a vibrant reception. This celebration also highlighted our latest exhibition, “Coronarya: Crisis, Color, Control” by Crunchybird, showcasing a personal journey through post-pandemic society, available until March 8, 2024.
The reception hosted long-standing artists, faculty, and donors of KAC
David brings a wealth of experience from his recent role at Larson Gallery and previous arts-related positions, enhancing our community with his passion. The evening was further illuminated by awarding Don and Merrily Dicks the HeART of the Community Award for their unparalleled support and contributions to the arts. Merrily Dicks especially has been deeply embedded in KAC’s history since its inception.
