Farber has spent the past 16 years rising through the ranks of leadership roles within arts organizations across the country, from getting her feet wet at The John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts in D.C. to her current position as director of the Mitchell Center, where her most recent feat includes the 2014 launch of  lauded interdisciplinary art event CounterCurrent Festival, which returns to Houston next month (April 18–23).
