"Matthew is a truly excellent choice for this new arts leadership position. Our arts community has been holding a lot of anxiety because of many uncertainties in the sector, largely centered on the city's role in the arts ecosystem."
"The search for an executive director of arts and culture was announced in late January, against a backdrop of devastating closures in the city's arts sector, including the beloved Mission Cultural Center for Latino Arts."
Matthew Goudeau has been appointed as San Francisco's first executive director of arts and culture, a position created by Mayor Daniel Lurie. Goudeau will oversee the San Francisco Arts Commission, Grants for the Arts, and the Film Commission. With a 26-year history in the city's arts and political circles, Goudeau's experience includes roles in various city agencies and arts nonprofits. His selection follows a three-month search that attracted 259 applications, driven by community input emphasizing the need for local leadership in the arts sector during a challenging time.
