Background

About Beatriz Valls

Director | Project Manager | Arts & Education | Public Programs | Social Responsibility & DEI | Interdisciplinary Team Leader I am an arts, humanities and education leader with 15+ years of experience designing and directing interdisciplinary projects where culture, creativity, and social responsibility meet. My work brings together visual arts, education, and community engagement to build programs that inspire learning, foster inclusion, and drive social innovation. I specialize in developing and managing public programs, cultivating strategic partnerships, and leading cross-functional teams in nonprofit, educational, and cultural institutions. From creating intergenerational dialogue through initiatives like Sages & Seekers, to directing community-based art projects with Access Books and Transartmethods, I bring a track record of translating ideas into impactful action. As an educator, I have taught visual arts and Spanish language arts at middle school, high school, and college levels, while also mentoring teams and collaborating with international organizations. As a project manager and director, I excel in designing participatory frameworks that empower individuals, strengthen communities, and align with DEI values. I thrive in dynamic environments where creativity, collaboration, and leadership intersect—whether developing public programs, managing educational initiatives, or guiding interdisciplinary teams. My goal is to continue advancing art, education, and culture as catalysts for equity, belonging, and social change.
