She is an artist and a cultural economic development and creative economy expert. On October 26th, Meri is retiring from the Massachusetts Cultural Council (MCC). This will be a great loss to the Commonwealth, especially to all the artists and arts communities in our state. In all her roles at the MCC, Meri has helped countless artists of all disciplines, arts organizations, and cities and towns to learn to how to best support and grow their communities by the harnessing the power of art and creativity.<\/p>\n<p>Meri was also a dear colleague and friend of the late Liora Beer. Like Liora, Meri quietly did important work. She never sought the spotlight \u2013 she simply was too busy helping others. And, like Liora, Meri is deeply loved by all who have had the chance to work with her or had been mentored\/helped by her. MALC wants to shine the spotlight on Meri for all the good she has done and will continue do, especially for the artists&#8217; community.<\/p>\n<h4>Profile: <strong>Meri Jenkins<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"color: #808080;\"><em><span class=\"il\">Meri<\/span> Jenkins is Manager of the Massachusetts Cultural Districts Initiative, and Community Initiative, programs of the Massachusetts Cultural Council, the state arts agency. The programs are designed to promote the use of cultural assets in economic and community development efforts in communities throughout the Commonwealth. Jenkins has worked at the Council since 2000. She has cultivated numerous dialogues among diverse stakeholders on the topics of creative place-making, sector capacity, and tourism; developed educational programs, symposium, and conferences; and designed technical assistance initiatives to support the development of the field. During her tenure at the Council and as manager of the Adams Arts Program, she has had responsibility for the dispersal of $13 million in grant awards to more than 100 projects involving 1200 organizations.\u00a0Since 2011, she has cultivated 45 cultural districts from inception to state designation.<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #808080;\"><em>Prior to moving to the United States in 1999, Jenkins was the Principal Manager of Business in the Arts South UK &#8211; an organization that developed mutually beneficial relationships between the commercial and cultural sectors, and has 30 years of experience managing a wide variety of cultural organizations both in the United States and in the United Kingdom. A through line in all her work has been to reach under-served populations. She believes that government &#8211; be it federal, state or local &#8211; support for cultural organizations, artists and entrepreneurs is an investment that enables access for all, improves quality of life, allows for economic growth, and has far reaching consequences for the well-being of a community. A visual and theatre artist, Jenkins brings an empathetic approach and a deep understanding of what it means to be in the creative life to her work.<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>As we lead up to 12th Annual \u201cArtists Under The Dome\u201d Event\u00a0and the MALC 2018 \u201cChampion of Artists\u201d Awards on November 14, 2018, at the State House, we are highlighting each of the six \u201cChampion of Artists\u201d awardees.
