Gavin Lodge
Gavin Lodge is a champion adventure seeker and career changer. He is an actor, activist, recovering PTA president, entrepreneur, and father full of opinions on how to live the best life. Raised in Colorado, he studied international affairs, pivoted to political organizing for a (still-serving) U.S. Senator, then chucked politics for Broadway. Lucky to be a tall (by showbusiness standards) tap dancer, he faked his way into a few Broadway shows, tours and TV shows. While auditioning to be an over-the-hill chorus boy, he founded a fashion start-up making “baby gear for stylish dads”. During the pandemic, he pivoted back to politics as a political/PR strategist, leading him to his current job as the executive director of 4A Arts, the American Alliance of Artists and Audiences, with the mission of changing the narrative around how arts and culture are valued by American society. He lives in rural-ass Connecticut with his two children and partner.
