The Verso Advisory Board is a dynamic group of industry leaders, artists, producers, media professionals, educators, and community advocates who partner with Westport Library staff to shape the vision, reach, and impact of Verso Studios.
Serving as ambassadors, advisors, and collaborators, Verso Studios advisory board members help position Verso Studios — and the Library — as a nationally recognized hub for music, media, and cultural innovation. Their expertise, networks, and insights directly inform the creative direction of VersoFest, our annual music and media festival, as well as a year-round slate of programs, workshops, and productions.
The Board’s contributions include:
Cultivating relationships with world-class talent, emerging artists, and cultural organizations.
Advising on program development to ensure artistic excellence, diversity, and community relevance.
Expanding Verso Studios’ reach through media exposure, strategic partnerships, and fundraising support.
Enhancing the educational and economic impact of Verso’s programming for Westport and the region.
Supporting the Library’s mission to foster creativity, learning, and connection through the arts.
By leveraging their experience and passion, the Verso Advisory Board helps ensure that Verso Studios remains a place where innovation thrives, communities connect, and music and media arts serve as catalysts for civic and cultural engagement.
