Erika Walton is a multi-talented artist, interested in the intersection of the arts, hospitality and community. Born into creativity, Erika spent summers traveling with family on a tour bus, learning to sing and connect with people from all walks of life. This non traditional education lead her to pursue self expression through acting, directing, writing, outreach and music administration. Erika has performed in musicals, music revues, concerts and plays. She has recently written a solo show inspired by the tree that she looks forward to produce. Erika thanks her family, friends and incredible mentors along the way. “I am grateful to be able to rise to the occasion of the day, and share what I have learned through everything I do. It is my time to shine. Thank you to the Athenaeum team for this opportunity.”
