About Erica McKeehen
I recently graduated with an MFA in Photography (May 2023) and a MA in Arts Management (May 2021) from Columbia College Chicago. I am overall focused on pursuing roles within the arts that leverage some or many of my passions and eclectic skill sets in organizational leadership, education, exhibitions management, and art-making.With ten years of experience in hospitality and retail management prior to my graduate degrees and focus in the arts, I am especially adept at fostering professional and collaborative workspaces as well as innovating systems of operational excellence.
