City Arts & Lectures

“We give a platform to artists and writers who might not have one otherwise to be a voice to the public”In this podcast episode our featured voice is Alexandra Washkin, the Design & Communications Director of City Arts and Lectures. This fall, City Arts & Lectures launches its 40th season virtually from the Sydney Goldstein Theater. The Sydney Goldstein Theater was the old Nourse Auditorium that City Arts and Lectures resurrected from being a storage facility for the San Francisco Unified School District.  The Sydney Goldstein Theater is both the platform for City Arts and Lectures’ diverse and innovative programming as well as a wonderful resource for other arts and cultural organizations to present their programming.The City Arts and Lectures team are continuing to bring their blend of writers, critics, scientists, performing artists, and cultural figures from around the world through experimenting with the new virtual theater format along with hosting old favorites like Drive In movies.
