Hi, I'm Allie.
My name is Allie Bashuk and I am a community organizer and arts & culture curator. I believe everybody has a superpower and that my hometown of Atlanta is chockfull of ‘em. I mash together like-minded people I run across and work on projects that are really fun. My ultimate goal is to do creative work that pushes Atlanta to the cultural forefront.
More specifically!
I am the Bell Jar Director at The Goat Farm Arts Center. The Goat Farm is a visual and performing arts center located in West Midtown, ATL. The center is housed in a 19th-century complex of industrial buildings and contains the studio space of over 300 artists. Goat Farm hosts music concerts, traditional and experimental theatrical performances, film screenings, contemporary dance performances, art exhibitions, artist residency programs, and professional ballet and contemporary dance classes.
I make things! We're an event design and installation studio called Brutal Studio. We specialize in photo booths, centerpieces, and custom creative projects.
I am the co-founder and co-executive director of The Dream Warriors Foundation. We believe that providing accessible support to a community of like-minded women, femme-identifying, and non-binary individuals inspires a stronger, more innovative local economy.
In 2014 I collaborated with artist Kevin Byrd to curate the artwork in the new offices of Dolby Laboratories in San Francisco, CA. We came up with 36 stories of wayfinding, storytelling, creative and artistic moments.
The start of my career started at Scoutmob. I was the founder, lead curator and production manager for their online store: Shoppe. Before Shoppe, I wore the hat of editor, community manager, and hell raiser.
I directed the annual Scoutmob Halloween Party 2010 - 2014 in conjunction with The Goat Farm Arts Center to curate and execute an increasingly profitable, popular, and progressive arts and entertainment event.
I was the first Atlanta hire for General Assembly, education company focused on building skills and community in business, technology and design. I helped them startup in Atlanta!
I am one half of the force behind Young, Foxy, & Free - a free art magazine in Athens, Atlanta and Savannah, GA with artist Michael Lachowski.
I am a Hambidge Arts Center (2019), Art Serenbe (2017), and NYU-ITP (2015) fellow.
I am open to opportunities. Hit me up.
