Richard Selden covers the arts for The Georgetowner and has written
freelance arts and travel features for the Washington Post, the Chicago
Tribune and other publications. Earlier, he was marketing director of
the Peabody Institute, the music school of Johns Hopkins University,
and, before that, ran continuing education at the Corcoran College of Art and Design.
With a B.A. in the history of art from Yale and a master’s degree in
tourism management from the New School, Richard has advised numerous
cultural organizations, primarily in New York City and his home state
of Connecticut. In his 20s, he led more than 100 motorcoach tours
throughout the eastern U.S. and Canada. He finds himself surprisingly
at home planning and leading Smithsonian Associates trips more than
30 years later.
After 13 years residing in Baltimore’s Mount Vernon neighborhood,
he now lives in New London, Connecticut, a former whaling port
second only to New Bedford, Massachusetts.
