Executive Director

Jon Potter

A “dream job” is how Jon Potter describes his role as the Executive Director of Latchis Arts and Latchis Corporation. A lifelong amateur performer and singer, Jon continues to feed his musical soul with the Blanche Moyse Chorale and the Brattleboro Concert Choir, both programs of the Brattleboro Music Center. For more than 20 years, Jon was a journalist, covering everything from cops and crime to local government and sports, but his real professional passion was writing about the arts, which he did for 12 years at the Brattleboro Reformer as award-winning editor of its Ovation arts section. In that role, he worked closely with the Latchis over the years to support events, programs, plans and campaigns. Along the way, he realized he wanted to do more to nurture the arts here and the community of Brattleboro – the vibrant, funky town that has been his home since 1998. Now he leads the important work of taking care of a building which has been a community cornerstone since 1938 and making sure the Latchis is always and forever a key player in the area’s lively arts scene. No wonder he calls it a “dream job.”
