Molly Rideout
Arts and Residency Director

Molly joined GAAC in early 2011 as the residency coordinator of Grin City Collective (then the Grinnell Artist Residency) and to administer the growing Arts Endowment. She started her work as Director in December 2011. A writer and swing dancer hailing from Madison, WI, Molly received her B.A. from Grinnell College and worked with two other artist residences before returning home to Iowa to join the Arts Council. She welcomes any questions about any of our programs, or obscure British television programs.

Mary Rellergert
Grinnell Area Arts Council Apprentice

She is currently a 2013 English major from St. Louis, MO, and is excited to take on a larger role in the Grinnell Community.

Kate Baumgartner
Arts Center Coordinator

Kate joined GAAC in July 2012 as the arts center coordinator. A locally raised theatrical designer and jill-of-many-trades, Kate is excited for the opportunity to give back to the artistic community in Grinnell. Her passions extend beyond the artistic world into outdoor adventure, foodie culture, and wrestling with her dog on the living room floor.
