Kumani Gantt Named Next Executive Director of the Central District Forum for Arts & Ideas
Today the Central District Forum for Arts & Ideas' (CD Forum) Board of Directors announced that Kumani Gantt has been chosen as the CD Forum's new Executive Director following a national search. Since 2004, Gantt has been the Executive and Artistic Director of The Village of Arts and Humanities, a nationally recognized arts organization in North Philadelphia. She will begin her position at the CD Forum in July. Ms.
Gantt succeeds founder Stephanie Ellis-Smith who stepped down from the post on May 31, 2009 after a remarkable decade long tenure.
This is a return to the Northwest area for Gantt as she is an alumna of the exclusive local Hedgebrook writer’s retreat. In addition to being an award-winning and active playwright, performer and poet, as the executive leader of the Village, she has helped impact more than 7,000 youth and local families while managing more than 600 volunteers and community members.
