Arlene Goldbard is a writer, social activist, painter, and consultant whose focus is the intersection of culture, politics, and spirituality.[1] She is an advocate for cultural democracy and a creator of cultural critique and new cultural policy proposals.
Goldbard was born in New York and grew up in the San Francisco Bay Area. After extended sojourns in Sacramento, Washington DC, Baltimore, Mendocino County, Seattle, and the San Francisco Bay Area, she now resides in Lamy, NM, with her husband, the sculptor Rick Yoshimoto.[2]
She has addressed academic and community audiences in the U.S. and Europe, on topics ranging from the ethics of community arts practice to the development of integral organizations.[citation needed]
She was named one of 2015's "Fifty most powerful and influential leaders in the nonprofit arts."[3] She was also named one of 50 Purpose Prize Fellows, recognizing social innovators over 60, for her role as Chief Policy Wonk of the U.S. Department of Arts and Culture.[4]
She was a 2019 recipient of the Randy Martin Spirit Award from Imagining America, annually recognizing "individuals who embody the unique combination of qualities that made Dr. Randy Martin, Profesor of Art and Policy in the Tisch School of the Arts at New York University, a beloved and valued member of the IA community." In receiving the award, her presentation was entitled "In My Secret Life: (Nearly) Fifty Years in Pursuit of a New WPA," tracing her long-term advocacy for public service employment as a social good.[citation needed]
With François Matarasso, she cohosts "A Culture of Possibility", a podcast on community-based arts and cultural democracy.[citation needed]
