ABOUT CHRISTOPHER JOHNSON

My name is Christopher Johnson. I am a Providence resident artist, artist educator, curator and producer here in the city since 2001. Upon arriving in the city I have independently organized and produced performances and events on small and large scales for nonprofit organizations, clubs and citywide festivals. When I started in this city I worked with no budget and focused on building relationships with artist, audiences, businesses, art organizations, and funding organizations. My rapport with afore mentioned individuals has allowed me to gain success after success in grant writing and finding alternative funding for projects (such as Poetry in Public Places for Sound Session 2004 through 2010), in being an agent of intersectionality between organizations (Pairing Everett Dance “Freedom Project” with WaterFire and Roger Williams Memorial Park 2015 &20016), organize and curate independent artist for pop up and stage performance for downtown festivals (First Works 2004, Sound Session 2004-10, Straight Mixed Culture 2005-09, Wilbury Theater’s PVD Fringe Fest 2014-15, PVDFest 2015-16).
