Danielle Engelman
Community & Collections Director
As Community & Collections Director, Danielle serves as a cultural intermediary, thoughtfully positioning Long Now as a nexus for a flourishing network of Bay Area cultural collaborators. She champions Long Now's programs, archives, living libraries, and community as essential resources for cultivating long-term thinking. Her stewardship of the organization's collected materials has included organizing papers from Long Now's first quarter-century for their permanent homes at Stanford's Silicon Valley Archives and the Institute for Art + Environment's Archives at the Nevada Museum of Art in Reno.
Danielle joined the Long Now team in 02006 to establish the organization's inaugural Membership program and support the Seminars About Long-term Thinking, bringing her extensive experience in the arts and education sectors, alongside her dedication to community engagement and intellectual curiosity.
During her tenure as Director of Programs, Danielle expanded the membership initiative, amplified the reach of Long Now Talks, and developed engaging public programming for the organization. In collaboration with talented colleagues, she produced Brian Eno's 77 Million Paintings, Jem Finer's Longplayer, Misha Glouberman's Terrible Noises for Beautiful People at Ann Hamilton's tower at the Oliver Ranch, the Mechanicrawl, the annual Lost Landscapes of San Francisco with Rick Prelinger, and Alicia Eggert's This Present Moment installation in San Francisco. Danielle studied Ancient Near Eastern Art and Architecture at U.C. Berkeley and remains an enthusiastic lifelong resident of the San Francisco Bay Area.
