Matt Blakley (he/him)

• Director of Development

Matt Blakley has spent the past decade supporting arts and culture organizations in Northern Virginia, Washington, DC, and most recently Richmond, where he and his young family have lived since 2016. Most would describe him as the ultimate hype man, design lover, and ’90s R&B aficionado. Matt has an MFA from George Mason University in creative writing with a concentration in poetry. When he’s not hyping, writing, or fundraising, you can usually find him humming in line at a nearby coffee shop.
