Benjamin A. Goldman

From EverybodyWiki Bios & Wiki


Benjamin A. Goldman (also known as Benjamin Allen Goldman, Ben Goldman) is an entrepreneur, author, artist, and inventor from the United States.

He was an advisor to the Clinton Administration, serving as a Charter Member of the National Environmental Justice Advisory Council (1994-1995) and a committee member of the President’s Council on Sustainable Development (1994-1995).[1][2][3][4]

Early life and education[edit]

Goldman was born to Allen Seymour and Mary (Lemann) Goldman on October 21, 1960 in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.

He got his bachelor degree in history from Vassar College in 1982, Master of Philosophy from New York University in 1990 and Doctor of Philosophy in Public Administration from New York University in 1993.[5]

Career[edit]

After completing his doctorate, he served in local, state, national, and international level and nonprofit organizations. His career began as a military economics researcher at the Council on Economic Priorities, where he was a Project Director in the early 1980s.[6][7] He worked as president of Public Data Access, Inc. and associate director of the Boston-based Jobs and Environment Campaign.[8][9]

Art[edit]

Goldman was executive director of the art gallery City Without Walls (cWOW), established in 1975, which supported emerging artists from New Jersey and beyond. Some well-known artists participated in cWOW, including Ibou Ndoye, Cortney Burke, and Mansa Mussa.[2][5][10] When Goldman took the charge as executive director of cWOW, it was an organization at its breaking point. Under his leadership, cWOW tripled its income, quadrupled membership and provided some stability in the contemporary art world in the Garden State.[10]

Goldman founded United Visual Arts, Inc. in 2005. During this, he invented an art display frame and got patent no US 8,365,452 B2 for his invention.[11] His paintings have exhibited in museums and galleries internationally, including at the Allied Museum in Berlin, Germany and the Topkapi Palace in Istanbul, Turkey.[12][13]

Politics[edit]

Politics was not new for Goldman as his mother was involved in politics in Philadelphia when he was a child, and ran for City Council. Goldman ran for Mayor in Weehawken in 2002, and helped several citizen organizations that advocated for sustainable planning along the Hudson River, including Friends of the Weehawken Waterfront and co-founded Weehawken Initiative Now (WIN) and the Weehawken Chamber of Commerce.[14][15][16]

Selected Publications[edit]

Goldman has written several books and research articles focusing mainly on the environment, sustainable development and waste management. According to Google Scholar, his publication and co-authored works have been cited over 840 times by researchers.[17]
