Arts Consultant, Actor, Singer, Bassoonist
Justin T. Chapman
I specialize in working with small arts organizations with an eye on long-term capacity building. I have a wide breadth of knowledge in a number of areas important to developing a successful organization, which allows me to take a comprehensive view to identify potential areas of improvement and interdepartmental collaboration. I think of myself as a plug-and-play worker, able to fit into any area one might need to “know a guy.” Take a look at my professional and artistic resumes below to get an idea of my experiences, as well as some projects I am currently working on.
