Please join the AMS team in welcoming our newest Lynette A. Turner Pathways to Consulting Fellow, Silvia Ferrer. Silvia will be joining our team from January 20, 2026 to Friday April 10, 2026. Silvia (ella + she/her) graduated with a Master of Arts Management with an interest in the intersections between public health, culture and leisure, and social justice. She hopes to work with organizations that address these social issues holistically. Silvia comes to AMS with previous experience in theater production and acting, gallery management, and harm reduction public health across states of New York, Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, Colombia, and Puerto Rico.
AMS’s first-in-the-field program was initiated in 2019 to help support and escalate involvement of individuals from groups that have been underrepresented in the arts and culture consulting field. Fellowships are intended to provide practical training and play a role in nurturing leadership by expanding and fostering inclusiveness within the discipline of arts and culture consulting.
Program participants will be mentored by recognized sector leaders and engage in valuable training and dialogue with a professional staff that collectively has decades of expertise in the arts and culture arena. Experience at AMS may play a role in providing a competitive advantage when fellows who have been engaged in the program are looking for employment in the arts and culture sector.
