Z-Arts Team

Board President

Lizette is a life-long supporter of the arts, from attending her first orchestral concert as a child (Rimsky-Korsakov’s Scheherazade) to volunteering at her daughter's elementary school art classes, to supporting museums and galleries wherever she might be. She has enjoyed attending Z-Arts events since moving to Zion Canyon in 2015 and began volunteering as a board member in 2020, first as Vice-President, then as President. Volunteering for Z-Arts has been incredibly enriching in countless ways. "I’m very honored to be of service to this grass-roots organization, working with other wonderful volunteers to bring artists and performers to Zion Canyon."

Board Treasurer,
Co-Visual Arts Chair

I have been actively involved in the Arts Communities in Denver, Saint George, and Springdale for the past 30+ years. When we moved to Springdale, I was pleasantly surprised to learn about Z-Arts and welcomed the opportunity to become the Chair of Visual Arts. After moving to Wilmington, NC my role transitioned to that of Treasurer. In Wilmington, I continue to be involved by volunteering at Cameron Art Museum. Art is in my bones!

Humanities Chair

Darlene has been a supporter of the Arts for many years and has served on a Fine Arts Board in the past. She feels especially honored to have the opportunity to serve on the board of Z-Arts. She has attended many Z-Art events since buying a home in the area over 12 years ago and is excited to have the opportunity to bring art in all its variety into the wonderful communities of the Zion Corridor.

Administrative Assistant

I began working for Z-Arts in May 2021 as Administrative Assistant. I am a transplant from Southern California where I grew up, and I began following Z-Arts before I ever knew I would be living in Southern Utah, a dream come true! I have always wanted to be involved in the art community somehow and jumped at this opportunity when I saw the ad in the Z-Arts Constant Contact Newsletter. I love being involved in the creative process!

Board Vice-President, Bookkeeper

Vicki Bell has been involved with Z-Arts since 2007 when she was first hired as the Administrative Assistant. She is currently serving as the Vice President and the Bookkeeper. "I have greatly enjoyed my time with Z-Arts and the wonderful variety of programs that we are able to provide for our Canyon residents."

I am the workshop coordinator as well as the secretary on the board for Z-Arts. I’m excited to be able to bring to you workshops hosted by our local artist as well as some out of town artists. If you would like to teach a workshop here in the canyon, or have recommendations for workshops please reach out to me.

For several years I co-coordinated the community art projects around town. The projects included the large quilt in the community center, the lamppost and gazebo wall mosaic and lastly electric box wraps. I’m excited to be on the board and continue to share art programs with this community.

Performing Arts Chair

Lisa Zumpft arrived in Springdale in December 2003. She started volunteering with Z-Arts in 2005 as a Board member, then Humanities Chair and then as the Performing Arts Chair for several stints of time. Her passion for music and performance are what keeps her working to ensure that our community has the opportunity to be exposed to high quality performance events. She has also been supportive of the many different events that Z-Arts has produced over the years including the Arts & Crafts Fair, Auction for Education, and Gallery shows. She has appreciated the many different aspects that Z-Arts has brought to this community.
