Meet Our Alumni Council President, Christine Carli
“The first time I walked through the doors of the Art Academy, I knew I was home. Today, it is a great privilege for me to serve as President of the AAC Alumni Council, and I hope to make the Art Academy a home base of support, camaraderie, and inspiration for all our Alums—both near and far. In the coming year, we are planning new ways for our alumni community to re-engage with Art Academy and with one another. We envision an Alumni Council that connects, promotes, and supplies opportunities for all. We want to hear from you, and more importantly, we want you to know that you will always have a home here in Cincinnati. Stay tuned, be well, and make art!”
Christine currently works as an independent communications specialist, combining her design skills with her love of writing to create meaningful online content, speeches, and corporate communications. Formerly, Christine worked as the Director of Communications for ArtWorks. The Art Academy has played an integral role in her career path from the very beginning. She landed her first job in book marketing at F&W Publications based on the skills she learned from the Art Academy’s community education classes. She later enrolled full-time at the Art Academy to earn a Bachelor’s Degree in Visual Communication Design. Christine also holds a Bachelor’s Degree in Media Arts with a minor in Spanish Literature from the University of Arizona.
Christine graduated from the AAC in 2008 with a degree in visual communication design. Christine has also been a docent at Cincinnati Art Museum for 20 years now! In her free time, Christine enjoys making ceramics and dabbling in printmaking.
The Alumni Association is thrilled to have such a strong, determined woman to lead us in this next chapter. We look forward to all that Christine will do for the Alumni, AAC, and the community!
Please join us in welcoming Christine as our Alumni President by sending congratulations and hello to alumni@artacademy.edu.
