Art Chang

Born in Jim Crow Atlanta to Korean immigrants and raised in an all-white district in Ohio, Art Chang knew that New York City was the only place to achieve his dreams. He moved here with $400 to start a new life. Along the way, Art has raised a family and built a dozen startups in NYC; all focused on technology as a force for good. He has had the privilege to work at some of NYC’s most important institutions: CUNY, the Campaign Finance Board, and the Brooklyn Public Library giving him the tools and knowledge to make real solutions for the challenges faced by the people of New York City. He doesn’t believe he has all the answers; someone in this great City does. Together, we can create a city driven by equity, where every one of us can thrive.
