Jen Singh, President, After almost two decades of design and freelance work, Jen was in search of a change of pace. She became involved in the arts in her community and fell into a leadership position on the Avondale Arts Alliance board. Arts education support was one focus of the Arts Alliance where she began working with local school’s arts programs, like The Museum School of Avondale Estates and DeKalb School of the Arts. She also co-chaired Avondale’s AutumnFest for 5 years where she connected with local artists and musicians and gained event planning experience. With a love of supporting local, she is currently co-owner of Garage Door Studio, a boutique and art center in Avondale Estates that nurtures emerging artists on the retail side and features art classes for adults and kids, events and workshops in the art center.

Kim Kyle, Secretary, relocated to Avondale in May 2014 and her desire to be involved in the local arts community quickly led her to the Avondale Art’s Alliance. She has a background in performing arts and brings her talents to coordinate and organize to the Alliance. She has organized community celebrations for the Alliance and enjoys getting the community involved by coordinating volunteers for various projects. She also is the official scribe for the organization. Kim is an avid walker and can frequently be seeing walking around our city with her husband, Linny and their dog, Copper. Professionally, Kim is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and has over 20 years working in the mental health field.
