Mar 28, 2024

Sarah Nantais – District Vice President, Fusion Academy 

Sarah has always loved working in spaces where art and education meet! Born and raised in Toronto, Canada, Sarah moved to the Bay Area to pursue graduate studies at the San Francisco Art Institute in 2010. She held several administrative positions within the graduate school before stepping out to intern with the SFMOMA Artist’s Gallery in 2012. In 2013 she joined Fusion Academy as a founding art teacher at their Marin campus.  
Sarah and her husband have two young girls who love to keep them busy, whether it be dance class, musical theater, or a sporting event…we love to be on the go! Sarah joined our Board in 2023 and is enjoying working with the artists, admin, and bringing more awareness to the important work we do. 

“My mother is an educator, my sister is an educator, and I am an educator with a background in arts. Seeing arts programs dwindling in our schools is a sad reality, and I’d like to continue to give life to organizations that provide opportunities for young students to engage with art, music, and different cultures.”
