Hello, My name is Erin Zona.

Erin Zona is an artist-centered strategist who has been working as a facilitator and collaborator in the arts for over 20 years. Her experience spans multiple platforms, usually focused within the framework of printmaking and independent publishing. Erin is a practicing artist with special interest in research-based projects that utilize archives and special collections, especially those highlighting the influence of radically queer and lesbian contributions to the history of art.

Raised in the South, Erin spent most of her youth between Little Rock, Arkansas and Nashville, Tennessee. She received her MFA from the Rhode Island School of Design in 2009 and a BFA from the Kansas City Art Institute in 2002. She has lived in various locations throughout her adult life including Chicago, Rhode Island, Kentucky, Missouri, and New York.

Erin is currently Co-Executive Director at Women's Studio Workshop in Rosendale, NY. At WSW, Erin is responsible for the artistic integrity of all programs and projects. She coordinates the panel selection process for all competitive residency programs and works to ensure that WSW opportunities remain artist-centered and appropriately flexible to meet the changing needs of artists. She is the director of WSW’s publishing imprint, representing over 200 artists in the sales and distribution of artists’ books. In this role, Erin has spearheaded new publications that have been transformative for both WSW and the field.
