JESS FROST, CO-FOUNDER & EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR
Jess Frost spent her childhood summers in a modest cottage across the street from Duck Creek, imagining the creative lives of the artists who lived there. After graduating with a bachelor’s degree in painting from SUNY Purchase, she moved to New York City and began an exciting career, working with influential dealer Barbara Gladstone, artist Matthew Barney and musician David Byrne. When she returned to live on the East End full time in 2004, she worked with several art galleries, publications and private collections, eventually taking a position as Associate Curator of the Permanent Collection at Guild Hall, where she digitized the museum’s extensive art collection from 2015 - 2020.
Frost is deeply grateful to find her lifelong advocacy for the Arts and love of the East End Community manifested in The Arts Center at Duck Creek.
