Walking in Your Purpose As Art Admins

Meet La Keisha Leek, a self proclaimed storyteller. Originally from Tampa, Florida, she is an artists advocate, writer, and arts administrator based in Chicago. She also works at the MacArthur Foundation in Grant Management. 

 

La Keisha is known for her wildly popular publication with Candor Arts, How to Make A Hood, a meditation on the misconceptions of Black bodies. Her years of curatorial experience as the Executive Administrator to Theaster Gates, and at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York, led her to want a slower pace and to start something new.

 

L’Louise Arts Foundation was born. The foundation supports artists of color by providing professional and financial resources. Join us as we discuss La Keisha’s calling as a Servant leader and how she helps artists create the narrative they want.
