“Giving a platform to artists and writers who might not have one otherwise to be a voice to the public”

In this episode we feature the voice of Alexandra Washkin, the Design & Communications Director of City Arts and Lectures. This fall, City Arts & Lectures launches its 40th season virtually from the Sydney Goldstein Theater. The Sydney Goldstein Theater was the old Nourse Auditorium that City Arts and Lectures resurrected from being a storage facility for the San Francisco Unified School District. The Sydney Goldstein Theater is both the platform for City Arts and Lectures’ diverse and innovative programming as well as a wonderful resource for other arts and cultural organizations to present their programming.

Alexandra Washkin

Allie Washkin is the Design & Communications Director of City Arts & Lectures and a freelance graphic designer. A Bay Area native and proud alum of the San Francisco State University Creative Writing Department, she has worked in San Francisco's arts and literary scene since 2010.

City Arts & Lectures

Since 1980, San Francisco-based non-profit City Arts & Lectures has offered unique programs with leading figures in arts and ideas. Each year there are more than fifty lectures and onstage conversations – and a few surprise performances, film tributes, and concerts – with outstanding writers, critics, scientists, performing artists, and cultural figures from around the world. City Arts & Lectures offers the broadest perspectives about ideas and values, the creative process, and how we think about the world we live in.

City Arts & Lectures events are held in the historic Sydney Goldstein Theater (formerly Nourse) in San Francisco’s Performing Arts Center and online. Programs can be heard via edited and delayed broadcasts on more than 130 public radio stations across the country, co-produced with KQED 88.5 FM in San Francisco, as well as on our podcast.
