Verve Vertu and the Deutsch Institute are excited to announce that Patrick Weibel has returned to the Deutsch Institute and been named as the new Arts & Community  Program Director for Verve Vertu. Many of you already know Patrick from his prior engagement working with our Verve Vertu artists! Under Patrick’s leadership, our dedicated team will continue offering our services, in a safe and inclusive environment, while also developing additional vibrant and engaging programming. We will reach out to our artists and their support teams to see what additional programming and community outings they are interested in. The foundation of Verve Vertu has always been its artists and Patrick is excited to continue that tradition.

Patrick is a graduate of the School of Visual Arts in New York City earning a BFA in Traditional Animation. He previously served at Verve Vertu as an Art Instructor and Arts Enrichment Assistant. He has also worked for Writer’s Relief, Inc. and Marywood University.

We would also like to thank Gwen Harleman for her many years of service to the Deutsch Institute. We wish Gwen all the best in her future endeavors.
