ABOUT MARK

Author, editor, speaker, educator and artist-entrepreneur, Mark Rabideau is an international leader in reimagining “how to help artists make a difference in the world. And how to help people who want to make a difference in the world become more creative."

Dr. Rabideau's entrepreneurial spirit has sparked the launch of a live radio show from NYC's upper-westside (Live from Smoke), which he hosted; the not-for-profit arts organization Artists Now, for which he served as Executive and Artistic Director; an original work with the American Repertory Ballet (Worlds End), that he produced; and Art in Unlikely Places – an ongoing project he founded that is fueled by the belief that art’s transformative powers must be made accessible to the underserved. Currently, he is producing the upcoming recording, STILLPOINT, featuring Awadagin Pratt, celebrated pianist and conductor, two-time Grammy-winning, Roomful of Teeth, and Grammy-nominated A Far Cry.

Mark is the founding editor of CMS Emerging Fields in Music, served as editor/publisher of 21CM.org, and is the author of The 21CM Introduction to Music Entrepreneurship – recipient of the 2018 Society for Arts Entrepreneurship Educators’ Innovative Arts Entrepreneurship Pedagogy award. A compelling arts advocate, Mark has delivered recent talks at Curtis, Yale, Cornell, American College in Greece, The Civic Orchestra of Chicago and American University in Cairo (Egypt) – where he was named Distinguished Visiting Researcher. Mark has served on The Quincy Jones Musiq Consortium and is President-Elect for the College Music Society.  

Mark is elated to work on behalf of the students, faculty, and staff at the University of Colorado - Denver in his role as Associate Dean for Academic and Faculty Affairs for the College of Arts and Media.
