Churchill Arts Council Welcomes New Executive Director Robyn Jordan

The Churchill Arts Council has announced Robyn Jordan as its new Executive Director, ushering in a fresh chapter for one of Fallon’s most cherished cultural institutions.

Jordan stepped into the role on March 17, bringing with her more than a decade of experience in community engagement, event planning, and nonprofit leadership. A Nevada native with deep roots in Churchill County, Jordan most recently served as the Recreation Supervisor with Churchill County Parks and Recreation and has long been recognized for her commitment to strengthening local organizations through strategic vision and inclusive programming.

“We are thrilled to welcome Robyn to the Churchill Arts Council,” said Board Chair Tedd McDonald. “With her extensive experience and passion for community, Robyn will be a great leader to continue our work and advance our goals. We look forward to the exciting opportunities that lie ahead.”

In her new role, Jordan will oversee all aspects of the Arts Council’s operations, including planning, fundraising, and community outreach. One of her first priorities is to build an arts-focused support staff and to invite community members who are passionate about the arts to get involved. She also plans to revitalize the Arts Council’s school programs and increase attendance at events.

“I am so deeply honored to join such a dynamic organization and to lead the Arts Council as we continue to build on the incredible foundation that has been established through the dedication of our organization’s founders,” Jordan said. “I want everyone to experience the arts.”

Jordan’s background includes leadership roles with the Churchill County School District, where she served as Family and Community Engagement Coordinator, and as Executive Director of the Fallon Cantaloupe and Country Fair. She has long been active in local initiatives and is a lifelong supporter of the arts in all its forms.

The Churchill Arts Council is currently implementing a strategic plan that aims to expand the role of the Oats Park Arts Center as a cultural hub for the region. Upcoming events include a Spring Film Series featuring Wes Anderson on the first three Fridays in April; a literary reading and reception with author Caleb Cage on Saturday, April 12; and an artist reception with Beck Bauman on Saturday, May 3.
