Kaitlyn Talsky has been proud to serve as UGA Next Act's 2023-25 Content Creator and in her new position as UGA Ars Gratia Artis' 2024-25 Marketing Director. Working so closely with student-led groups within an institution as large as the University of Georgia has helped her understand the significance of outreach, especially for the performing arts, and especially for the many organizations that have had less financial support to allow their visions to come to life. Being involved in content creation, marketing, and design within theatre not only has not only given her the opportunity to stretch her creative muscles but has also allowed her to connect with other campus leaders, directors, and artists to give visual life to their work.
