Union Hall, a nonprofit arts exhibition space and emerging artist platform located on the ground level of The Coloradan, today announced that they have selected Emma Perez Steuer to serve as its new executive director.

Drawing on her extensive fundraising background, Perez Steuer will advance the organization’s mission to serve as a cultural community partner providing opportunities for emerging artists and creatives. She will also partner with Union Hall’s board and curation team to drive success through fundraising efforts, community engagement and inclusive, groundbreaking exhibitions.

Located just off the Union Station train platform, Union Hall is the first dedicated and permanent non-commercial, non-collecting exhibition space integrated into a private real estate development in Denver. In addition to filling the need for an arts and culture space in the city’s center, Perez Steuer will lead Union Hall’s Culture Concierge program, which provides an easy way for Coloradan residents, Denverites and visitors to engage in enriching and educational experiences throughout the community.

“Union Hall occupies a unique and innovative space within Denver’s arts and culture fabric. That’s why we need a leader like Emma to not only advocate for diverse, inclusive and accessible programming but help Union Hall define its place in a rapidly developing neighborhood,” said Amy Cara, Union Hall board president and managing partner at East West Partners. “We are thrilled to welcome Emma to lead our team and look forward to seeing her build lasting and impactful relationships within the community.”

Prior to joining Union Hall, Perez Steuer served as the stakeholder engagement manager for the Biennial of the Americas, where she led fundraising efforts and organized local and international events. She has also completed the Denver Metro Chamber Leadership Foundation’s Impact Denver program, an initiative for up-and-coming professionals in the Denver metro area.

“It’s one thing for art to provide a memorable experience. It’s another thing entirely for art to connect individuals, reinvest in the community and energize a city. This is exactly what drew me to Union Hall,” said Perez Steuer. “Through its collaborative and thought-provoking exhibitions and commitment to community partnership, Union Hall has established a strong foundation that I’m eager and excited to grow.”

Steuer plans to reopen Union Hall in the Fall, with increased safety measures including required reservations and social distancing protocols.
