Jessica Goldman Srebnick, Co-Chair of Goldman Properties, is a second generation leader of the company

founded by her late father, visionary real estate developer, Tony Goldman. Founded in 1968, the award-

winning company is a creative real estate firm with a storied history in developing thriving global

destinations across the United States. Marrying real estate and public art to build community, Goldman

Properties is known for recognizing the value in depressed urban areas and transforming them into iconic

neighborhoods such as SoHo in New York City, Center City Philadelphia, Miami Beach, and Wynwood,

site of the acclaimed Wynwood Walls, winner of the 2016 “Global Award of Excellence”- Urban Land

with co-founder, artist Peter Tunney. For its inaugural project, in 2015, the Miami Dolphins NFL franchise

commissioned GGA to infuse a global art aesthetic into the newly renovated Hard Rock Stadium. In 2019,

Goldman Srebnick authored Walls of Change: The Story of The Wynwood Walls. The book is a retrospective

published by Assouline, showcasing Wynwood’s most celebrated murals, by street art’s most iconic figures.

GGA continues to produce thought provoking large scale, creative projects for a variety of organizations,

including the Miami Heat, Citibank, When We All Vote, and Wynn Hotels. In 2020, GGA was hired by

the NFL to infuse street art into Super Bowl LIV in Miami. As a result, and in partnership with the NFL,

GGA curated several works by five world-renowned artists including the face of the game day ticket and

commemorative program. She also most recently curated a national art campaign for Michelle Obama’s

organization When We All Vote to amplify the importance of voting.
