where creativity and community meet
Our Staff
Supported by dozens of wonderful volunteers, our staff work hard to bring our community the dynamic arts programming you have come to expect from us.
Dan Reynolds -- General Manager
An artist and writer, Dan has spent his life creating art and building opportunities for artists. He has produced shows and events all over Boston and Los Angeles; worked in development for Los Angeles Opera; and is now Artistic Director of the Machias Arts Council Theatre. Other adventures in pursuit of artistic projects have included being chased at gunpoint through the streets of Brazil, narrowly escaping road bandits in the deserts of Morocco, and being tear-gassed in Paris riots. Dan is excited to join the EAC team and be a part of Eastport's growing reputation as an arts destination.
Lauren Koss -- Publicity Director/ Education & Outreach Coordinator
Lauren graduated summa cum laude from Hamilton College in Clinton, NY, in 2000. She moved to Washington County in 2006. She has held a diverse array of jobs—running a café; doing layout and design for a weekly newspaper; singing with jazz and rock bands; compiling an arts and culture guide and planning a music series. All of these experiences are linked by her urge to communicate—whether through the flavor of the soup of the day, the way a print ad might pop as you page by, or in a turn of phrase that might stand out in the barrage of weekly emails. She enjoys applying her communicative fervor to the needs of the EAC, whose lineup of events gets her “all jazzed up.”
