Dana Mattice joined Artspace in 2017 and currently manages capital campaigns for Artspace properties in Loveland, CO; Colorado Springs, CO; and Utica, NY; in addition to supporting Artspace General Operations and other needs. She was a key contributor on the design and launch of Artspace’s inaugural, nationwide resident survey that achieved statistically significant results; and nominated Artspace and senior leadership for a variety of awards that were received, including ACHP/HUD Secretary’s Award for the Bell Artspace Campus. During the height of the pandemic, from 2020 through 2022, Dana also achieved revenue goals for The Cowles Center, Artspace’s performing arts venue in downtown Minneapolis. Dana has worked as a nonprofit administrator for 15+ years and was previously the Interim Executive Director and Development Communications Director at the Duluth Art Institute, a community art center in Northern Minnesota, where she increased grant funding by more than 60%. Before that, Dana lived in Texas and was the Publicist for the Museum of Fine Arts, Houston—one of the largest art museums in the country—where she promoted some 30 exhibitions per year as well as special initiatives like the construction of the Arts of Asia wing. She pitched and placed news stories locally and nationally, including at the BBC, New York Times, Wall Street Journal, ARTnews, and Travel + Leisure, and was named “Best Flack” by the Houston Press. She is a graduate of the University of Wisconsin-Madison. Dana lives in Minneapolis with her partner, Tom, and their dog, Arlo. She can often be found indulging her addiction to narrative through reading books or watching movies; or out hiking in the woods, looking for mushrooms, or kayaking on the Mississippi River.
