Tracy MacDonald

Executive Producer, Arts and Culture

Tracy MacDonald is the Executive Producer of Arts and Culture at Rhode Island PBS. In 2021, she moved back to her home state of Rhode Island and started producing for Rhode Island PBS. During her first year, she created the New England Emmy and Gold Telly Award-winning series ART inc. As Executive Producer, Tracy works with a great team to produce our local Arts and Culture series, including the local music show Ocean State Sessions, Animal Talk, Double Feature, Story in the Public Square, and Our Town. She believes arts and culture journalism is a powerful way to share authentic local stories that speak to a broader audience.

When she’s not working, Tracy likes to explore secret and not-so-secret places, bake pies, take photos, and read/listen to all sorts of books, magazines, and podcasts.
