Inner-City Arts, the nonprofit organization in downtown L.A.’s Skid Row that provides free arts education to disadvantaged youth, has named Joseph A. Collins as its new president and chief executive officer. Collins replaces Cynthia Harnisch Breunig, who left the organization in July after more than 12 years to become chief executive of the Girl Scouts of San Gorgonio.
Collins, who assumes his role this week, previously served as the chief executive of the Kanye West Foundation, the nonprofit youth organization affiliated with the pop singer that shut down in March. Collins also has held positions at the New York City Department of Education and the University Settlement Society of New York.
