After 12 years as Founder and Artistic Director of the Light in Winter Festival, Barbara Mink announced she is stepping down to pursue new artistic opportunities. The Light in Winter board today accepted, with regret, her decision. The board is committed to the vision of Light in Winter and is planning for future festivals.Mink said: "We have enjoyed eight years of exciting, creative and enlightening programs that have brought new visitors to the community and new insights to many of us. I look back with pride at many of our audacious productions over the years that made this small city gain national attention, and I thank everyone for helping turn what was just an idea into such a wonderful reality."
The Light in Winter Festival, which produces collaborations between artists and scientists, debuted in 2004.
