Perry-Mansfield Performing Arts School and Camp has officially named Deena Selko as its next executive director.

“To now steward this legacy into the future is an honor I hold with the utmost care and humility,” Selko said in a news release. “From the moment I first discovered Perry-Mansfield in the pages of Dance Magazine as a young dancer, I was captivated by the images of artists moving among the aspens and pines.”

Selko has served as interim executive director for two months. She will be working with the summer staff and developing new year-round opportunities for students.

“I am deeply committed to empowering our exceptional artistic and administrative teams, nurturing collaboration across all disciplines, and ensuring that our students, faculty and community feel inspired and connected. Together, we will continue to make Perry-Mansfield a place where art and nature meet in transformative ways.”
