Lane Arts Council announces Stacey Ray as new Executive Director
Stacey Ray has been an-
nounced as the new Executive
Director of Lane Arts Council.
She succeeds Liora Sponko,
who held the position for near-
ly 10 years and now serves as
the Community Arts Coor-
dinator for the Oregon Arts
Commission.
Ray brings more than a de-
cade of experience in arts
management and administra-
tion, including four years serv-
ing with Lane Arts Council as
Program Manager as Assistant
Director and Interim Execu-
tive Director.
In her previous roles with
Lane Arts Council, Ray was re-
sponsible for the management
and oversight of the nonprofit
organization’s operations, staff,
programs, grants, marketing
and communications.
Having worked across all of
Lane Arts Council’s programs
“I truly believe in and have experienced the
power of the arts to bring us together...”
— Stacey Ray, Lane Arts Council Executive Director
and participated in arts and
culture events across disci-
plines, Ray said she is deeply
aware of the impact of the arts
locally.
She is a passionate advocate
for rural arts and culture and
has helped broaden Lane Arts
Council’s outreach and pro-
gramming across Lane Coun-
ty.
“I truly believe in and have
experienced the power of the
arts to bring us together, con-
nect us to the places we live,
and help us better under-
stand ourselves and others,”
said Ray. “Art challenges us to
think differently and reminds
us of our humanness. As an
arts administrator, artist, and
arts supporter, I know how the
arts impact our daily lives and
strengthen our communities
to make them the places we
love to live. I am grateful to be
able to lean into my passions
to support our community
through the arts.”
Prior to Lane Arts Council,
Ray’s experience included po-
sitions with multiple art galler-
ies, the Center for Communi-
ty Arts & Cultural Policy, and
as Arts and Exhibits Director
for Associated Students of
Montana State University. She
served with Portland Institute
for Contemporary Art (PICA),
ArtCity Eugene, and as a board
member for Integrated Arts.
Ray has a MS in Arts Man-
agement, with a concentration
in Community Arts, and a
Graduate Certificate in Non-
profit Management from the
University of Oregon. She also
holds a BA in Art History and
BFA in Studio Art from Mon-
tana State University.
Ray practices her own cre-
ativity through her sketch-
book, guitar and participat-
ing in local arts and culture.
Originally from Montana, she
is an avid fly-fisher and enjoys
exploring the mountains, lakes
and rivers of the northwest.
In her new role as executive
director, Ray will work direct-
ly with Lane Arts Council’s
Board of Directors, staff, do-
nors, community partners and
all stakeholders to continue to
amplify the impact of the arts
in Lane County.

The Lane Arts Council was
founded in 1976 by a group of
artists who identified a need to
have a centralized arts agency
to serve all of Lane County.
For over 40 years, Lane Arts
Council’s mission has been to
cultivate strong and creative
arts communities by providing
high-quality arts experiences,
engaging people of all ages in
arts education, and encourag-
ing artistic endeavors.
The four pillars of LAC’s
work (arts education, arts ex-
periences, artists, leadership
and partnership) encompass
the organization’s programs,
services, and commitment to
the community.
Lane Arts Council serves
over 13,500 students, dozens
of arts organizations, hundreds
of artists, and welcomes more
than 20,000 community mem-
bers to events annually.
