Alexis Frasz

Co-Director

Alexis is a researcher, strategist, and advisor helping partners across sectors build a more just and regenerative future through culture and creative strategies. Her work connects artists and cultural workers with movements for social, ecological, and economic justice.

She has served as faculty and program designer for the cultural leadership program at the Banff Centre for Arts and Creativity and for Julie’s Bicycle’s Creative Climate Leadership program. Her research on socially-engaged artistic practice has shaped artist training curricula and philanthropic programs worldwide.

A Summa Cum Laude graduate of Princeton University in Cultural Anthropology, Alexis draws on her own creative practices — along with advanced studies in Chinese medicine and Buddhism — to inform her perspective on cultural change.

She currently serves on the board of Fractured Atlas and is helping establish a Public Bank in the East Bay. Alexis lives in Oakland, where she spends as much time as possible outside — in the garden, or in the hills with her dog.
