Minnesota Street Project Announces Arts Leader, Madison Cario as CEO

Minnesota Street Project (MSP) and the Minnesota Street Project Foundation are elated to announce the appointment of Madison Cario as the organization’s Chief Executive Officer (CEO), a new position created to augment the contributions of the founders.

A sought-after keynote speaker and panelist who leads transformative workshops on Equity, Diversity, Inclusion and Access around the U.S, they are a trans, queer, neuro-diverse artist, alchemist, and Marine Corps veteran. Cario will join the MSP team in December. As CEO, Cario will explore new opportunities for collaboration and idea-sharing across disciplines and sectors, while continuing to develop MSP’s existing offerings and resources.

“The legacy of the arts in the Bay Area is as rich in history, diversity, and activism as the City itself,” notes Cario. “I am thrilled to return to San Francisco, the place where my early artistic expressions and activist roots were tapped, as the inaugural CEO of Minnesota Street Project. I am especially happy to join the organization at this particular moment, when access and equity are in such sharp focus. With eyes on the horizon and the management of day to day, I look forward to the opportunities to further our founder's vision of a 'dynamic, self-sustaining enterprise, which encourages heightened support for the arts' for the future of all Bay Area residents.”
