OUR TEAM
Our team is comprised of experts with a diverse range of experiences in the art world, from sales and marketing to IT to event production. Passionate about connecting galleries and artists with art lovers and collectors who love their work, we work tirelessly to present carefully curated collections of the best original fine art and design both in person at our critically acclaimed fairs and online at our art shop. We believe that great art makes you think, feel, and see in new and interesting ways. It’s one of the most rewarding parts about creating and collecting the art you love—and the reason most of us got into it in the first place.
