Listen "11 - Jackie von Treskow, Fringe Signal, Civic Scale"
Episode Synopsis
Today’s guest is Jackie von Treskow, Senior Program Manager for Public Art at the San Francisco Arts Commission.Jackie’s journey into the arts wasn’t a straight line—it involved mythical Asheville forests, fringe pirate radio, writing hard for SF from LA in a master’s program, and non-profit hustle.We talk about what it really means to make art public, how monuments shape our collective memory, and why humor and empathy matter as much as policy and process.If you’ve ever wondered who decides what art gets built in your city—or how those decisions get made—this one pulls back the curtain with warmth, humor, and a dose of radical honesty.Let’s get into it.
