From PS122 to Onassis USA: VALLEJO GANTNER's Journey in the Arts

Vallejo Gantner led Performance Space 122 (now Performance Space New York) from 2005 to 2017 and was responsible for all programming and strategic direction, including the creation of the annual, interdisciplinary COIL Festival; the production of worldwide tours for multiple PS122 shows; and the conception, fundraising, and management for the recent $35 million renovation of the organization’s longtime East Village home. Most recently, he has been an artistic adviser to BAM Artistic Director David Binder and a curatorial advisor and dramaturge for Theater der Welt in Dusseldorf. At Onassis USA, Gantner leads all of the Foundation’s cultural activities in the U.S., harnessing its evolution into a formidable contemporary producer and presenter of arts-and-ideas programs that substantially contribute to timely national conversations and effectively inspire social change. · www.onassisusa.org · www.creativeprocess.info
