About this Lister

Hi, I’m Harrison! I’m a creative producer and grant writer passionate about supporting artists and organizations in building thriving, interdependent arts ecosystems. I founded Run Artist Run to help artists navigate the often-complicated world of funding, offering tools and strategies to sustain and grow their creative practices.

I come from a background in documentary storytelling and sound art, which deeply informs my approach to this work. I believe every artist has a story worth funding, and I’m inspired by the incredible creativity and resilience of the people I collaborate with.

Some of my favorite projects include producing an upcoming feature-length documentary with Oscar-nominated Sandbox Films and Emmy & Peabody-winning Q-Ball Productions, and co-founding Not About Me, a community arts space in Brooklyn’s Bed-Stuy neighborhood. I’m a graduate of Wesleyan University, where I studied experimental music composition and cultural anthropology.

What motivates me most is seeing artists take control of their financial futures and watching their work thrive as a result. I’d love to help you map out your next steps and bring your creative vision to life.

Background and Expertise

I came into development work in 2022, supporting artist friends and community organizations in New York’s Hudson Valley with larger-than-life creative projects in need of funding. Since then, I’ve raised tens of thousands of dollars for international artists and organizations, secured career-changing solo exhibitions and fellowships, produced artist programs, and grown my consultancy, Run Artist Run, into a knowledge-sharing platform for funding opportunities.

It’s been my privilege to work with incredible artists like painter Linda Colletta, sculptor Roland Mikhail, filmmaker Jayson Jackson, and dancer/choreographer Carolyn Dorfman, as well as organizations such as ArtPort Kingston, Sandbox Films, and Pique-nique Recordings. References from among these clients are available upon request.

I wear many hats in service of these projects—grant writer, gala organizer, film producer, and program administrator. But my favorite role, and where I truly shine, is as a storyteller: writing about your artistry or unrealized creative vision in ways that clearly communicate its potential for personal and societal impact.

These experiences have made me a versatile and knowledgeable teammate. I take great pride in a job well done and find immense joy in supporting sustainable practices for fellow artists and the organizations that resource our creative communities.
