About

Jennie Lamensdorf founded Arts & Culture Partners to build culture strategy and arts partnerships for clients who believe in the urgent necessity of artists and arts organizations. Her background as a contemporary art curator and experience building and leading corporate art programs informs her cultural strategy work and drives her commitment to supporting artists and cultural organizations. Jennie believes art has the power to encourage thoughtfulness, empathy, and creative problem solving and she brings this critical work to new platforms and audiences.  

Jennie is based in Los Angeles and serves as a Board Member of Artadia, NYC and Art Omi, Ghent, NY.

Prior to launching Arts & Culture Partners, Jennie was the Partnerships & Communications Lead for Meta Open Arts, where she developed the strategy and vision for Open Arts to empower creative communities to advance artistic production for Meta technologies and shared Open Arts' storytelling with a broad public audience. 

As the Director and Curator of Time Equities Inc. Art-in-Buildings (NYC) and Bay Area Regional Lead of Facebook Open Arts (San Francisco), Jennie developed extensive experience curating, commissioning, and producing large-scale site responsive artworks in all media for residential, commercial, and retail settings.

She is also an independent curator and writer; her most recent project, Hot Spots: Radioactivity and the Landscape, opened at the University of Buffalo Art Galleries and traveled to the Krannert Art Museum at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign.

Jennie co-founded Forward Union, a coalition-building initiative connecting social justice organizations with artists and creative communities.
