Panelist, 2023
Ali Rosa-Salas is a curator whose approach is rooted in the belief that curatorial practice must serve the public good. She finds inspiration from the cultural ecosystems of Lenapehoking (specifically the area now called New York City), where she was proudly born, raised, and currently resides. For over a decade, Rosa-Salas has served New York City arts and culture through curatorial projects in performance and visual art. In 2017, she began her tenure at Henry Street Settlement/Abrons Arts Center as director of performance programs. In 2022, she was appointed vice president of visual and performing arts. In her current role, Rosa-Salas guides the curatorial vision of the Abrons Arts Center's presenting, educational, and residency programs. In addition to her role at Abrons, Rosa-Salas is an associate curator of the Jacob’s Pillow Dance Festival.
$9 million in new grants from The Pew Center for Arts & Heritage supports artists and public events that connect art with healing, explore cultural identity, and tell diverse and unique Philadelphia stories.
