Janet Brown
Janet Brown recently retired as president and CEO of Grantmakers in the Arts (GIA), a national association for private foundations and public agencies, where she led the organization to gain national recognition for its bold racial equity in arts philanthropy work and its focus on the financial health of the nonprofit art sector. Prior to her tenure at GIA, Brown served as Chair of Performing and Visual Arts at Augustana University, and as an instructor at Goucher College where she taught about public policy and the arts in the Master in Arts Administration program. A registered lobbyist for 15 years, Brown formerly served as executive director of South Dakotans for the Arts (SoDA)—a statewide service, education, and advocacy organization—where she provided technical assistance to communities, inspired the arts-infused A+ program, managed a five-state conference, and created the Prairie Arts Management Institute. During her time at SoDA, Brown created the annual Arts Education Institute, the ArtsCorr program in juvenile corrections, and an arts in healthcare systems program. She also successfully lobbied for public art legislation.
