The Board of Directors of the Orcutt Children’s Arts Foundation recently appointed Orcutt resident Hannah Rubacalva as its new executive director.
Rubacalva most recently worked as a senior account manager with a customer relationship management software company and worked for Santa Maria Valley YMCA as their youth and family program director.
The foundation’s fundraising efforts provide for artist-in-residence lessons in drama, visual arts, and dance each year on a rotating basis for all students in the district attending Kindergarten through sixth grade. Junior high school students in the district experience outreach programs from PCPA, paid for by the foundation and its supporters.
