Roddy Schrock is dedicated to building resilient, community-driven cultural ecosystems. With over ten years of leadership at the intersection of art and public engagement, he helps organizations amplify their impact, inspiring co-creation among stakeholders.
During his decade-long tenure as Executive Director of Eyebeam, Roddy led a comprehensive strategic pivot that redefined the institution as a center for inquiry and artistic expression. He expanded collaborative residency programs, aligned funding with artists’ needs, and secured major philanthropic support. His approach drove significant revenue growth and opened new opportunities for interdisciplinary artists.
Roddy has lived and worked internationally, including in Japan and the Netherlands, and brings a creative perspective to cultural strategy. As a digital and sound artist, he’s been commissioned by Meet the Composer, the American Music Center, and Ostrava New Music Days. He holds an MFA in Electronic Music and Recording Media from Mills College. An educator at heart, Roddy served as adjunct faculty in the Curatorial Practice MA Program at SVA (2015–2022) and has lectured at institutions like STEIM Amsterdam, California College of the Arts, and NYU’s ITP. He currently serves on the Netherlands-America Foundation Cultural Committee and the advisory board of OPEN, and he created Informer (2021–23), a podcast featuring leading artists and thinkers during a unique cultural moment.
Roddy divides his time between Boston and New York, and lives near Providence, RI with his partner, writer Joon Oluchi Lee, in a historic home they share with their two beloved, moderately well-behaved dogs.
