Chelsea Dowell

Chelsea is an accomplished nonprofit professional with over a decade of experience in New York neighborhood and cultural organizations. She focuses on creative and strategic solutions that tell stories and build an audience.

After earning a Masters's degree in Historic Preservation from Pratt Institute, Chelsea joined the Green-Wood Historic Fund, where she managed the cemetery's development into a premiere cultural destination. Since then, she has led communications, engagement, and special projects at Village Preservation and Museum at Eldridge Street.

Chelsea’s interest in preservation stems from a fascination with the built environment of a city and how it shapes and is shaped, by people. She likes long walks, dark movie theaters, and the D train.
