Queridos,
I’m thrilled to share the great news that Marianna Schaffer will be joining Creative Capital as our Director of Artist Initiatives. The new position will serve a key role in cultivating and creating relationships, strategies, outreach, and programs to serve the needs of artists. Marianna will direct both awardee services and professional development programs, which are at the core of Creative Capital’s mission to support artists in realizing their creative visions.
Marianna Schaffer has spent over a decade as a leader in the nonprofit and philanthropy sectors, most recently in support of American artists and arts institutions dedicated to positive social change. After working as a member of David Rockefeller's philanthropic team for 11 years, Marianna served as a Program Officer at the Robert Rauschenberg Foundation. There, she helped to empower individual artists and small arts organizations working across the country at the intersection of arts and social justice, primarily through pioneering initiatives such as the Artist as Activist Fellowship and SEED program. During her tenure, she also managed the partnership with the Sundance Institute New Climate Initiative to uncover and support films and emerging media projects that address the environment, conservation, and climate change.
We’ve been talking to artists around the country, and we keep hearing that there is a clear need for comprehensive artist-driven funding and advisory services. Marianna is the perfect leader to further develop our award and professional development efforts into an integrated program that will have a positive impact on artists and communities across the nation. We couldn’t be more excited to welcome Marianna to the Creative Capital team.
And don't forget applications for the Creative Capital Award are now open through February 28!
Saludos,
Susan R. Delvalle
President & Executive Director
