Jen Gick, Director of Development

Although not a New Orleans native, Jen considers herself an official New Orleanian after her children Jonah and Ruby were born here. Enamored with old and quirky things, Jen began her nonprofit career at the New Orleans Pharmacy Museum in 1999, working in seemingly all capacities for several organizations before joining the Young Audiences team in August 2016. With a BA in Fine Arts / Art Education from New College in Florida, friendraising and fundraising for arts enrichment helps her feel less guilty about not making the time to focus on her own artwork. Her family, the color orange, the number 32, macaroni and cheese, and her 19-yearold cat Wineglass Breaker are among the things that make Jen the happiest.
