John Dorsey
Programming Director

    John’s duties as Program Director include managing the four primary programs of the CAC. The Residency Program, The Lois M. Nelson Theatre and Performing Arts Program, the CAC Arts Education Program and the CAC Outreach Program.
     Under the Residency Program, Brian assists the CAC resident artists in planning and producing exhibits within the facility, in organizing and presenting workshops geared toward informing and educating the public within their field of artistic expertise, in finding avenues to present their works outside of the facility, assists them with information on marketing their artwork, and keeps them informed of events within the facility which may benefit them.
     Under the Lois M. Nelson Theatre and Performing Arts Program, Brian is responsible for organizing the smooth presentation of all events that pass through the facility, planning and organization of events from 18 months out until the present date. These events range in scale and format and include such venues as exhibitions, presentations, installations, theatrical performances, concerts and readings. In such, Brian is responsible for managing all personnel and properties involved in the proper production of these events.
     Under the CAC Arts Education Program, Brian is responsible for scheduling programming such as workshops in arts related fields that will benefit both the CAC resident artists as well as the community at large. This also includes the implementation of a summer program for local school age children to assist them in experiencing the arts on a personal level.
     Under the CAC Outreach Program, Brian is responsible for identifying and making contact with organizations which assist individuals and families who may not otherwise have the means to experience the arts on a personal level and provide them with the means through distribution of 10% of the available tickets for all events to these organizations. This program also includes the organization and implementation of programs such as the CAC Resident Artists On The Road, in which CAC resident artists travel out to senior centers and schools to perform and inform about the arts.
     In his downtime, Brian enjoys online gaming such as World of Warcraft and Vanguard, web design, his primary art form photography, a good cup of coffee with great conversation, the fine art of cooking and the not so fine art of eating.
