Josh Beerman

Josh brings a diverse background to his dual role at the Foundation. Prior to joining the Foundation, his career has been in non-profit arts and mission-driven organizations. Josh tends to work behind the scenes, but his experience, passion and competencies are critical to the daily operation of the Foundation. Locally he has worked with Seattle Repertory Theatre, The Village Theatre, ACT Theatre, the Capitol Hill Arts Center (now closed), and The University of Washington, where he held a number of roles from writing, casting and producing to office management.

Before moving to Seattle, Josh lived in New York and worked in a management staff role for The Brooklyn Academy of Music, supporting artists from all over the world who came to the Academy to present their work. He then joined On-Ramps, a recruiting firm that finds leaders for key mission-driven organizations in the U.S.

In addition to his Foundation role, Josh is an award-winning playwright and accomplished screenwriter with a Master of Fine Arts in Dramatic Writing from The New School for Drama.
