Grants Manager

Christina Starr joined the development team at Creativity Explored in 2023, having spent the last decade supporting arts, environmental, and tech nonprofits in fundraising and program development. Her passion and dedication to creating sustainable environments for artists to thrive brought her to CE, where she enjoys being inspired by the wonderful artists and mission.

Her background in the arts led her to write grants for Tempus Projects, a nonprofit art gallery in Tampa, FL which nurtures emerging and established artists through exhibition and residency opportunities. Since moving from Florida to San Francisco in 2016, she has supported the fundraising teams of the Rainforest Action Network, the Museum of Craft and Design, and the Internet Archive.

Christina is a visual artist and received a BFA in Studio Art with a focus in painting and video from the University of South Florida. She maintains an art practice in textiles, painting, and digital art and has shown her work in galleries in Florida, Oregon, and Cuba. When she isn’t making art, she enjoys exploring San Francisco on her bike and perusing second-hand stores for interesting books and objects.
