Joy Neas
After high school I decided to devote my life to the arts. Ever since moving to Stockton in 1993, I have taken every opportunity to enhance arts opportunities here by creating arts ventures where there weren’t any and adding to existing programming. In 2012, I received the Mayor’s Art Award for my work with the arts in downtown Stockton. My goal is to Make A Place For The Arts wherever I am.
