Scott Burkholder is the Principal Agent of Burkholder Agency.
He believes that art makes the world better and that peak performance is the ability to change our own and others’ consciousness at any time.
Scott was born and formed in rural Minnesota and is the 2nd of four children to parents that have endured as a couple for over 50 years. His analytical mind was refined through engineering programs at the Johns Hopkins University and his empathetic heart enhanced through relationships with dozens of artists. He is awed by humans ability to create—and sometimes understand—reality and he is consummately curious about the process of visions becoming real. He knows how to use a pivot table (he loves spreadsheets), he applies trauma-informed practices to his conversations (he is empathetic) and he is gently powerful in patience (he is an endurance athlete).
He has produced large scale public art projects, books, films, art shows, house concerts, short term rentals and guides the vocations of dozens of artists.
He is not from Baltimore but of the city, and resides in the Douglass District with his wife Jenn, their English bulldog Charlie, and often a foster child. He feels best when his day includes reading, writing, working out and time together with his family.
His vision is to always have interesting people at his table and to support them in making their craziest ideas happen, NOW.

“If I were truly talented, I wouldn’t need management…”
We beg to differ—behind every visible artist is an invisible network. Here’s what “good management” looks like and why the dashboard is so important.
