We’re thrilled to welcome her to our team.”

As senior program officer, Angelique will guide Joyce’s Culture Program, which distributes $2 million annually. She will focus on sustaining and advancing accessibility to high-quality arts, developing leadership programs and capacity building of community-based arts groups, and fostering the creative work of minority artists through the Joyce Awards.
