Episode 71: Roberta Miller (Watertown Public Arts and Culture Committee Chair)

Meet Roberta Miller! She's currently the Chair of the Watertown Public Arts and Culture Committee, but she's had a hand in many things in the city over the years. In this conversation, we cover a lot of ground from growing up in North Dakota and being an exchange student at a historically Black college in the South, serving on the first Watertown town council then later traveling the country developing and sharing new facilitation techniques as a consultant to other city councils. We talk about her being a leader in the Arsenal redevelopment project that resulted in bringing a handful of community benefits to Watertown that still exist today, her time directing the Mosesian Center for the Arts (twice), and being honored with a state heroine award for her work. Then we end with a bit of the Public Arts and Culture Committee and the upcoming River of Light event. There were a lot of stories to share in here, so there will be a separate River of Light event highlight episode that will be released shortly after this one for a deeper dive into that.River of Light Event InformationWatertown Public Arts and Culture Committee PageSupport the showHead on over to www.littlelocalconversations.com to check out all the episodes, events, and everything else going on. Sign up for the Little Local Conversations email newsletter Follow on Instagram: @littlelocalconversationsUpcoming events!
