On being appointed to the role, our Executive Director Christopher Nicholas said:
“I’m honored and grateful to be elected to the Western Arts Alliance (WAA) Board of Directors. This is very special to me because WAA is the reason I have a career in the performing arts. When my Oakland (CA) based Hip-Hop Orchestra Experience (HHOE) pivoted into the performing arts field, WAA accepted us into the Launchpad Program. This program’s mentorship eventually led to signing with our booking agency, Opus 3 Artists.
My hope is to help position WAA as a tastemaker in the field in which new and adventurous artists and talented performing arts professionals are cultivated. By making WAA a platform of discovery for the innovative artists and young arts professionals, I would like the conference to be impactful in the field at large as well as attracting the attention of the general public. As a Professional Development Committee member, I’ve been serving to create fulfilling conference experiences for the WAA community and am very excited to contribute further on the WAA Board.”
