Matthew Richter Biography

Matthew Richter is one of the most popular and richest Artist who was born on April 9, 1968 in New York City, United States. Matthew Richter, an American author, performer, producer, and entrepreneur, was born April 9, 1968 in New York City. He currently resides in Seattle, Washington. He is the Cultural Space liaison for the City of Seattle. Consolidated Works is a contemporary art center in Seattle, and he is well-known.

He was one of 12 individuals invited by the Rockefeller Foundation in 2002 to be founding members of National Arts and Technology Network. He was awarded the Seattle Mayor’s Arts Award in 2003 on behalf of ConWorks. In 2003, he was also one of twelve national recipients of the Safeco Insurance Rudy Award to leadership in the non-profit sector. Richter was described as an “art visionary” in Art in America’s profile of Seattle’s arts scene. Richter was described as “freakishly ambition” in a profile published by The Stranger.

He was fired from Consolidated Works by the organization’s board of directors on February 5, 2005, a move that sparked controversy and divided many in the local arts scene. The reasons for the firing were never made public. The organization continued without Richter for nearly two years following the firing, but announced its dissolution in December 2006, after losing its mammoth facility to rising costs nearly six months prior.

In September 2006, Richter (in collaboration with 18 chefs from around the country) created Dinner Theater, an avant-garde performance art dinner theater presented at On the Boards in Seattle.

Consolidated Works was established in 1998 by him. It is a contemporary arts center located in Seattle’s South Lake Union neighborhood. The warehouse, which measures 32,000 square feet (3,000 m), was renovated in 1998. ConWorks, as it was called by Art in America, was “the most spectacular” alternative arts space in Northwest. As its executive director for seven years, he helped to grow the organization to be one of the most prominent arts presenters in the region. He worked with teams of producers and curators to fill the facility’s theatre, cinema, visual gallery, music hall and lecture stage. Richter’s “legendary fundraising skills and internationally acclaimed programming are credited with the success of the center (Seattle Post- Intelligencer).

Since his 1990 graduation from Northwestern University, Richter has been creating alternative contemporary art, music, and performance since then. He founded the iconic Rm 608, an art gallery for visual and performing artists, in an abandoned building on Seattle’s Capitol Hill in 1992. The “small but powerful” (The Stranger), organization was the launch pad for local talent such as David Schmader and the Trachtenburg Family Slideshow Plays, Kia Sian and Kristen Kosmas. It presented more than 200 world-premiere pieces of theater and performance art over its two-year existence, many of which were continued runs off-Broadway in New York City. The organization’s life span was planned into the structure and it was scheduled to close in 1994. Richter was quoted by The Seattle Weekly saying that organizations should be closed in the same manner as performances, so that the audience can clap and go home and reflect on what it meant.

He was appointed Theater Editor at The Stranger in Seattle in 1994. He continued to pursue his passion for writing while at The Stranger. One undercover report earned him personal protection after the group investigated made death threats. Also, the paper published feature-length articles which were reprinted in other newsweeklies across the country. He was also published in an American Heritage college textbook on geography. Although he left the newspaper in 1997, he continues to publish occasionally. His most recent writing was on the topic of American nonprofit reform.

In 2005, Richter formed a new company, xom, which (according to Richter) stands for “hug and kiss, matt.” Under the auspices of the new company, Richter designed and created original furniture, lectured on the state of the arts, consulted to arts organizations, and produces independent arts events.
