Rachel Reichert is an artist and independent consultant who works with museums, residencies, historic sites, artist-endowed foundations, and cultural organizations to develop artist-centered initiatives, strengthen partnerships, and steward the lives, work, and legacies of artists. Her practice is deeply collaborative, bringing together artists, architects, designers, creative practitioners, and other thought partners to shape projects informed by a wide range of perspectives and expertise.

For nearly two decades, Rachel has worked alongside artists and arts organizations to build programs, shape institutions, and create opportunities for artists to thrive. Her experience spans artist residencies, grantmaking initiatives, national convenings, public programs, historic artist sites, and community-centered cultural projects. Across each of these roles, she has returned to the same questions: How are artists supported throughout their lives? How do we care for creative work over time? And how can cultural organizations build lasting relationships with the artists and communities they serve?

Rachel's consulting practice brings together strategic planning, program design, facilitation, research, and partnership development to help organizations navigate moments of growth, transition, and long-term stewardship. She has helped launch new artist residencies, develop historic artist sites, support artist-endowed foundations, design national grant initiatives, and create collaborative programs that connect artists, collections, places, and communities in meaningful ways.

As an artist, Rachel approaches consulting with the same curiosity, care, and iterative thinking that shape her studio practice. She believes the strongest organizations begin with listening, are built through relationships, and place artists at the center of their work. Whether developing a new initiative, strengthening an existing program, guiding organizational strategy, or stewarding an artist's legacy, Rachel helps organizations translate ambitious ideas into thoughtful, lasting work.

Based in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, Rachel works with organizations across the United States.
