My name is Heather McDougall and I get excited about creating meaningful cultural experiences - it’s my specialty. I curate and produce them as well as manage teams to deliver them. Collaboration with creative individuals and organizations has made so much of what I do possible — from organizing European and North American premieres of new work to managing production of an oral history podcast in partnership with the Studs Terkel Radio Archive. With experience spanning the music, archival, public media, architectural and heritage realms — across the Ireland and the U.S., my sandbox is big, enriching the perspective and insight I bring to each project. This website walks through my background and areas of focus.
