Pia Catton Email & Phone Number

After 20 years as a print journalist, mainly writing about the arts and culture, I took a hard look at the state of journalism. I wanted a career with greater sustainability and, best case scenario, some joy! So I launched a career #pivot into development and fundraising. In 2019, I joined the development team at National Dance Institute, and in 2022, I joined Battery Dance as Director of Development. My nonprofit volunteer and board experience includes Clive Barnes Foundation, Northern Manhattan Improvement Corporation, and the Washington Heights Jazz Festival. As a journalist, I spent seven years at the Wall Street Journal covering New York's arts institutions, with a focus on dance, Broadway and the performing arts. In that time, I created the "Let's Talk Arts" podcast and edited a data-driven website analyzing Broadway ticket sales. At the Journal, I also covered six seasons of thoroughbred horse racing, including the 2015 Triple Crown, as well as the 2012 and 2014 Olympic games.

Listed skills include Collaborative Writing Projects, Management, Writing, Editing, and 12 others.
