After 30 years of service on the Rockford Area Arts Commission, Joyce Torrey decided it was to pass the paintbrush to someone new. Joyce has overseen the commission and during her tenure launched the Rogue River Blues Series, Celtic Fest, the Rockford Creative Arts Center, Rogue River Artists Association and the Rogue River Community Theater. She has received recognition from the City of Rockford and Kent County for her efforts.
The Arts Commission unanimously elected Kayle Clements to fill Joyce’s seat as president of the commission, effective October 1. Kayle, a local musician and founder of Clementunes, has been a member of the commission for the past two years and organized this year’s Art in the Park event with his wife Suzy, also a commission member.
Kayle is involved in the arts throughout West Michigan, working with the Men and Boys Choir of Grand Rapids, Blue Lake Fine Arts Camp, Actors, Civic and Circle Theatres. He was a finalist in the 2009 Great American Song Contest. His latest release Simple Pleasures, was released in October 2009. You can find out more about Kayle at his website: www.clementunes.com
And although she’s no longer president, Joyce is not quite through with her service to the community, She was elected president emeritus of the Arts Commission for a term of one year.
