Chloe Reison is the Associate Director of The Sachs Program for Arts Innovation at the University of Pennsylvania. The Sachs Program for Arts Innovation’s mission is to support and inspire creative practice and practitioners across the university – in all twelve schools, in the university’s artistic and cultural centers, and through the many partnerships and collaborations that connect Penn to the world at large. We support a vibrant creative community and wish to ensure that our community members are valued and supported in the ways necessary to thrive.  

Chloe joined The Sachs Program in 2017 to establish its grantmaking initiative, and prior to that worked for the Pew Center for Arts and Heritage supporting arts and culture across the five-county region of Southeastern Pennsylvania. She has an MFA from Penn’s Weitzman School of Design (‘12) and a BS from Skidmore College (‘08). 

Cindy Stockton Moore is a Philadelphia based artist, writer, and arts worker. She creates site-responsive multimedia work that engages the history, environment and poetic narrative of a landscape–current installations are on view at Eastern State Penitentiary and Glen Foerd. Her experimental, often collaborative, videos have been screened in festivals and exhibitions nationwide and abroad. She brings her previous experience as Project Manager of The Velocity Fund in her current support role at the Sachs. Her writing on art has appeared in FlashArt, ArtNews, NYArts Magazine, SciArt Magazine, The New York Sun, ArtBlog and Title Magazine in addition to university and web publications.
