Louise Kerr
Executive Director
lkerr@saratoga-arts.org

“As the new Executive Director of Saratoga Arts, this is a wonderful opportunity for me to return to what I love best – connecting and nurturing artists across all genres, at all points of their careers and working collaboratively on a local and regional level to promote and sustain the meaningful impact a public arts center can have serving the community. It is with great enthusiasm, a fresh perspective, and with the belief in a dedicated team of staff and volunteers at Saratoga Arts, that I look forward to forging new relationships, partnerships and connections that will continue to build upon Saratoga Arts successful history with a focus on the mission of making the arts accessible to all.”

Louise comes to Saratoga Arts from The Olana Partnership, The Historic New York State Park and home of Frederic Church, the famed Hudson River School painter, where she served as the Director of Engagement and Visitor Operations. Prior, she was the Operations Manager for The Betty Cuningham Gallery in Manhattan’s Lower East Side. She brings more than 20 years of diverse business management experience, both in New York and California, to her new post.

Born and raised in Scotland, her undergraduate studies were in Architecture and Design at The Glasgow College of Building and Printing (now part of Glasgow University) and she obtained her Master’s degree in Fine Art from the prestigious New York Studio School of Drawing, Painting and Sculpture. Having spent many years at a weekend home near Sacandaga Lake over a decade ago, moving to Saratoga Springs to put down permanent roots feels like coming home.
