Ghazi Kazmi

Ghazi Kazmi, founding executive director of the Whitney Center of the Arts, has been providing local artists with a place to perform and connect since 2014. Set in the 1865 Thomas Colt House, the Whit houses two art galleries, Gallery W and the Colt Gallery, where artists from over 200 countries have been represented. The Whit is also a producing theater company, quickly taking its place in the Berkshire theater community. The Whit has become a hub for education and creativity, welcoming artists and performers of all ages through many diverse programs. A dedicated advocate for the arts, Ghazi volunteers much of his time to the community and to the center.
