Hello !

My name is Brianna Brown, and I’m truly honored to be entering my second year as Artistic Director at Central Visual and Performing Arts High School. As a proud alum from the Class of 2014, it means so much to return to the place that helped shape me and now support the next generation of young artists and scholars.

I hold a BA in Psychology from Webster University and have spent the past several years dedicated to youth development through the arts and education. My experience includes work with Jazz Academy through Jazz St. Louis, restorative justice counseling at Kairos Academies, and mentorship through Mentors in Motion. I am a former Artist in Residence with the Kranzberg Arts Foundation and a former board member of Opera Theatre of Saint Louis’s New Works Collective. I am also a voting member of the Recording Academy and continue to perform nationally as a vocalist and songwriter.

Coming back to CVPA is more than a full circle moment, It is a calling & I'm excited to keep pouring into our students as they grow, create, and discover the power of their voice and purpose."

Best,

Brianna
