Dany Kany is moving to Saudi Arabia to work with the art collection of the King Abdul Aziz Center for World Culture, or Ithra. According to its website:
Ithra is an all-purpose cultural destination. We have created an environment for transformative experiences to unlock the power of potential through mastery in arts, science, literature and innovation. Our facilities include Idea Lab, Library, Ithra Theater, Cinema, Museum, Children’s Museum, Energy Exhibit, Archives, The Great Hall and The Knowledge Tower, all which are housed to provide visitors an immersive and transformative experience.
Dan acquired Saudi art expertise when working on PHANTOM PUNCH: Contemporary Art from Saudi Arabia for Bates Museum of Art in 2017.
Dan’s new desert digs:
Dan was my bandmate in Chain of Fools and is one hell of a cheerleader, networker, and teacher. He will be sorely missed.
Who will step forward to champion Maine art to the masses?
