The George Gund Foundation

We are thrilled to share that Kayli Salzano has joined the Gund Foundation team as our 2023–25 Fellow.

Before joining us, Kayli worked as a gallery manager at Waterloo Arts. Salzano sought and mounted art exhibitions featuring Northeast Ohio artists and organized public programs to connect visual art with community projects. They implemented a public open call process for generating exhibitions and re-established a gallery committee to assist the organization in collaborative decision-making on behalf of artists and educators.

Salzano also worked as project + visiting artist coordinator at Reinberger Gallery where they assisted the director in gallery operations, facilitated a weekly artist lecture series, and maintained the Institute’s collection of artworks. Salzano has additionally worked as an art handler for several exhibition spaces in Cleveland, and they have completed both a gallery internship at Praxis Fiber Workshop and an Artist Leadership Residency hosted by Assembly for the Arts and Cleveland Leadership Center.

Please help us welcome Kayli!
