WHO WE ARE

SHANNON GREENE ROBB, FOUNDER + president

Shannon, a graduate of The Chicago Academy for the Arts, pursued Piano Performance at Berklee College of Music in Boston. After an injury sidelined her piano playing for three years, she shifted her focus to exploring new creative avenues, earning a Bachelor of Music in Music Education from DePaul University and a Master’s in Interdisciplinary Arts from Columbia College Chicago. Her passion lies in designing innovative experiences that foster collaboration, spark fresh perspectives, and build community.

Shannon’s work has been showcased in multi-media installations and performances at Chicago venues including Woman Made Gallery, Glass Curtain Gallery, Links Hall, and Ruth Page Center for Dance. She was the first alumna to chair the Music Department at The Chicago Academy for the Arts and has served as Musical Director for various theater companies and schools across Chicagoland. In 2017, she created a large-scale photo installation in downtown Naperville as part of the global "Inside Out" art project, featured at TEDx Naperville.

Beyond the arts, Shannon has made significant contributions to her community, serving as a former Commissioner for the Special Events and Cultural Amenities (SECA) program (2016–2024), a former Commissioner for the Village of Oswego’s Cultural Arts Commission (2015–2017), a former board member of ARTSpeaks, and a former member of the Artist-in-Residence Advisory Committee at the DuPage Children's Museum.

The arts and performance have been a force in Lisa Murtaugh Gangi’s life since the age of 3, including dance, music, modeling, and on-camera performance, and continue to this day as an entrepreneur.

Since moving to Naperville with her two children in 2007, Lisa coalesced her passions of philanthropy and the arts by serving numerous nonprofit organizations and efforts in DuPage County, in pivotal roles including fundraising, MC’ing, gala and fashion show planning, volunteering, and media & public relations.  She additionally served as an independently-contracted Fashion Editor and Writer for Glancer Magazine and assisted the magazine with fashion styling, photoshoots, fundraisers, and more. Lisa proudly served on the Board of Directors of Naperville CAPS (Citizens Appreciate Public Safety) and as its Board Secretary from 2014-2019. Her contributions to Arranmore Farm + Polo Club began in 2016 as Sponsorship, Media, and VIP Coordinator.
