Welcome, my name is Cory Munro Shea, (she/her/hers).
Over the past 10 years, I’ve built a career combining my love of creative community and visual arts by becoming an arts administrator. Specifically within the nonprofit sector.
In January of 2018 I was appointed the Director of the Maud Morgan Arts Center, a non profit community arts center located in Cambridge Massachusetts. Within this role, I orchestrate a plethora of creative programming from our MMA Arts Afterschool, to weekend workshops with families (including pop-up markets); as well as adult evening programming, workshops and special events.
Since re-opening post covid closure in 2020; I’ve been focusing on rebuilding internal community infrastructure through programs like our Ceramic Artist in Residency, restructuring our print studio to be focused on silkscreen printmaking. Creating a more accessible arts afterschool program and the recently rebooted Middle School arts program. As well as bringing back the classics; adult evening ceramics and sprinkling in new media specific workshops for adults.
On top of organizing art focused programming, I regularly participate in creative practices within my own visual art. I’ve exhibited my artwork across New England in galleries, pop up exhibitions and public art installations.
In my personal life, I enjoy the daily ritual of getting a good cup of (iced) coffee, knocking off books on my goodreads list and spending quality time with my husband and daughter.
