PROGRAM DIRECTORS
Hunter Mack
Music for All Colorado
Hunter is a classically trained multi-instrumentalist who teaches out of his home studio in Longmont, Colorado. He studied classical guitar performance, composition, and music theory at Metropolitan State University. When Hunter is not teaching one of his many instruments, he manages his family's farm, providing organically grown produce to local food banks and families in need. Hunter is also the Program Director of BCAH’s newest program in development scheduled to launch in Q2 2022, Music for All Colorado.
The Broomfield Council on the Arts and Humanities provides two types of programming:
- Staff-presented programs are those in which our operational staff plan and execute events with the assistance of volunteers. These programs meet the creative needs of a wide range of ages and interests, while attracting visitors to Broomfield and providing opportunities for other BCAH programs and member groups to interact with attendees. Staff-presented programs are offered for free to the public and include single event booths, contests, and full-scale events, like BCAH's longstanding Summer Sunday Festivals.
- Program director-led programs present diverse offerings, while relying on the expertise and creativity of artists, performers, and creatives to develop a vision for their program. These tasks may include: site scouting; choosing scripts and repertoire; working directly with group members; conducting auditions; selecting vendors; and preparing a budget and reports for BCAH. BCAH provides direction and guidance as needed to the program director and performs accounting, marketing, grant-writing, and collaboration opportunities.

Sheila Brush
Sheila Brush is the current chairperson of the Broomfield Spellbinders Storytellers Chapter.
She has been storytelling with the group for 6 years. She is a retired teacher and was looking for a way to re-connect with children when she saw a flyer about Broomfield Spellbinders. The rest is history! Spellbinders connect with district and neighboring schools as well as retirement communities, BCAH events, and other community activities. She is looking forward to continuing working to support all these organizations through Spellbinder Storytelling.
