“Art bridges differences in age, culture and economics, drawing people together through a common interest. I believe this is something we need more of in the world today.” As a longtime resident of Kettering and a lifelong artist, Pene Miller is proud of the support this community shows for both public art and art education. Serving on the Kettering Arts Council gives her an opportunity to give back and to promote this aspect of Kettering. As a new member in 2018, she is still familiarizing herself with all that the council does, and she is excited to see what the next few years will bring.
