PINAR GOODSTONE

BOLD COORDINATOR

Originally from Istanbul, Turkey, Pinar Goodstone relocated to New York City permanently in 2014, having lived on and off since 1998 in the United States, as well as in Paris and Rio de Janeiro. Pinar’s passion for culture, music and dance has transported her across physical and philosophical borders and provided her with a vast and varied global background in the arts, from research to performance and creative production.

In New York, Pinar has worked as an artist liaison for organizations including Soundscape and The Jewish Museum. Working with entertainment law firms, she helped secure entry and residence in the U.S. for internationally acclaimed artists and talent. As an Artistic Director, Pinar produced the world premiere of composer Ertugrul Oguz Firat's composition “Reality, Symbol, Game”, and negotiated a recording deal for Ertugrul with AK Records.

A desire for more creative freedom led Pinar to establish her own arts consultancy company. In this capacity, she has worked on a range of international projects, from the design and implementation of the Association of Art Museum Curators (AAMC)’s Montreal conference to the relocation of an Automobile and Fashion Museum of Malaga, Spain. In addition, she handled all aspects of development and execution of the Moonrise at Sunset Music festival in Bodrum, Turkey. Through her consulting practice, Pinar continues to manage and produce domestic and global artistic events currently working on curating a group exhibition in New York City and a solo show for a Peruvian graffiti artist in Istanbul.
