About Janet J Oh
Summary
I am a versatile, creative, and strategic leader anchored by a lifelong performing and visual arts background. Throughout my career, I have been committed to uplifting socially engaged work, including youth education initiatives and commissions by emerging to mid-career artists. I specialize in time-based media and performance.
On the programming side, I have worked in collaboration to produce 300+ performances, lectures, symposia, readings, and film screenings. I am also a classically trained pianist and dancer, which allows me to appreciate the creative process firsthand.
Available on a contract basis to support your mission through grant writing, fundraising strategy, editing/writing, and artistic programming.
