Sidney joined the Mackinac Arts Council in 2025 as the Admin and Development Associate, bringing with her a versatile background in public service, arts engagement, and community involvement. A familiar face to the organization, Sidney previously volunteered with the Arts Council and is thrilled to now contribute in a full-time capacity.

​

She first arrived on Mackinac Island in 2022 to work at the Mackinac Bike Barn and quickly fell in love with the island’s unique charm and strong sense of community. In addition to her work with the Arts Council, Sidney also serves as a Public Safety Assistant with the Mackinac Island Police Department.

​

A passionate advocate for the arts, Sidney brings a fresh perspective, a collaborative spirit, and a deep commitment to supporting creative programming and development initiatives across the island. She recently completed the Disney College Program in Orlando, Florida, where she sharpened her skills in communication, organization, and guest services in a dynamic and fast-paced environment—experience she is eager to bring to her role at the Arts Council.
