During his tenure, Dr. David Guion’s leadership profoundly strengthened the Dublin Arts Council, positioning it as a thriving arts nonprofit and regional public art and arts education leader.

Dublin Arts Council recently celebrated its 40th anniversary, with Guion serving as the organization’s visionary leader for half of its existence.

“The City of Dublin, Ohio, has benefited greatly from the exemplary leadership of David Guion,” says City of Dublin Mayor Chris Amorose Groomes. “With a focus on collaboration and service to the public, David is committed to engaging both residents and visitors in the arts. For two decades, he has guided the Dublin Arts Council and overseen its outstanding programming, while also bringing international recognition to our community through the renowned Art in Public Places program.”
