In 1986, a little band from Minneapolis released their debut album — and helped lay the foundation for what would eventually become the Americana movement.

40 years later, The Jayhawks are still creating the kind of harmonies and songwriting that inspired generations of artists to follow.

Now they’re bringing that sound to Ariel-Foundation Park on June 19. 🌅🎶

Come experience one of Americana’s most influential bands live for the 2026 Summer Kickoff at Ariel-Foundation Park.

We’re excited to welcome Samantha Turner as the new Executive Director of the Mount Vernon Arts Consortium!

Samantha brings more than 10 years of experience in event management, arts administration, education, nonprofit leadership, and live event production. Most recently, she served as Assistant Director in Kenyon College’s Office of Campus Events, where she led large-scale ceremonies and campus events while managing complex logistics, budgets, and partnerships.

A Mount Vernon native, Samantha shared “I am honored to have been chosen to lead the Arts Consortium. Mount Vernon has an incredibly strong arts community, and I look forward to working alongside our partners, artists, volunteers, and supporters to continue creating meaningful experiences throughout my hometown’s amazing artistic spaces and places.”

Founded in 2020, the Arts Consortium works to amplify arts and entertainment in Mount Vernon through collaboration, community partnerships, and shared support for our historic venues and cultural experiences.
