Clarissa Soto Josephs
Clarissa Soto Josephs began working at Pentacle in 2011
after earning dual degrees in Dance Performance and
Entrepreneurship with a concentration in Legal Studies from Hofstra
University. In 2016 she
earned an MBA degree from Quinnipiac University, and was named one
of the New York Hispanic Coalition’s “40 Under 40 Rising Stars” in
the same year.
As a staff member of Pentacle for over ten
years, Clarissa has provided services for hundreds of artists,
trained hundreds of interns and fellows in arts administration, and
has developed innovative ways to effectively serve artists through
Pentacle’s programs. In July 2021, Clarissa was appointed Executive
Director of Pentacle, the first BIPOC woman and the first
non-founder to hold this top leadership role at the organization.
As Executive Director, she is excited to continue upholding the
organization’s 45-year mission of helping artists, while also
taking a fresh look at how Pentacle can develop new equitable and
sustainable business models and practices.
