The head of the Oregon Arts Commission said she’s left the organization.
Christine D’Arcy made the announcement in an email. She’s been with the commission for 19 years, and said it was time to move on, but did not indicate the reason or whether the choice to leave was hers.
The commission distributes arts funds from the federal government, and money raised for the arts by the Oregon Cultural Trust.
D’Arcy’s responsibilities included advocacy for arts funding and overseeing the grant process.
She served under Govs. John Kitzhaber and Ted Kulongoski, and has been around for a number of changes to the state’s funding and administrative structures for arts and culture.
