CURA Contemporary in Morgan Hill opened in the fall of 2024 as an art gallery and community space that hosts exhibitions, workshops, and art classes. The building was the brainchild of owners and longtime South County residents Dan and Kathy McCranie, who also own Colibri Art and Framing just across the street. The McCranies worked closely with Ellie Honl-Herman, the current Gallery Director, to develop CURA Contemporary's design and offerings. Ellie initially met Dan McCranie when she applied to be a part-time framer for Colibri. Her background as a university art professor and practicing artist opened up the opportunity for her to start curating exhibitions at Colibri Gallery and eventually develop her role as a thought partner and gallery director of CURA Contemporary.Since its opening, CURA Contemporary has hosted art exhibitions, workshops, and youth classes. The gallery's goals are to be a welcoming and inclusive space for the community, provide educational opportunities that build an appreciation for the arts, be a hub for the local and regional arts community, and be a multifaceted arts destination with its unique combination of an art gallery, wine bar, restaurant, and event space. In this conversation, we discuss Ellie's art practice, her journey to becoming gallery director of CURA Contemporary, and her spirit of experimentation.Follow CURA Contemporary on Instagram @CURA_contemporary. Follow Ellie on Instagram @elliehonl and @elliehonlphoto.

Join Tamara for an interview with oil painter Carmen Aguirre, a Miami native who got her BFA Fine Art in Miami, and then went to Spain for graduate study with Valencian classical painter Amadeo Roca Gisbert.   Carmen moved to Savannah in 2016 and then spent about 10 years working for the former Grand Bohemian Gallery at the Mansion, eventually becoming Gallery Director. She is a figurative painter working in oil on canvas and/or panel. While she represents scenes of daily life, her objective is also to convey how the subject touches and inspires her.  Check out more of Carmen's work and follow her here:  https://www.instagram.com/carmenmaguirre/  https://www.carmenmariaaguirre.com/    Topics in their chat include: The sharp learning curve of her graduate program in Spain, where she was thrown into the deep end of representational oil painting; she reminisces about her college and grad school era of not being super concerned about what her art would lead her to, career-wise, but just being at peace about pursuing your art degree for learning's sake; living in Miami and attending Art Basel from when it began in 2002; how she moved to Savannah about 20 years ago after having visited her daughter here many times; how she met good friend and fellow painter Dana Richardson when coming across Dana painting in Forsyth Park; her preference for including a frame on her art to call it "finished;" lessons learned from a past solo show at the JEA in which she had 24 (!) paintings; what are mangroves?; her conceptual painting of an orange LifeSaver candy; her years of having real creative control over discovering new Savannah artists and bringing them into the Mansion's Gallery; her recent series of paintings exploring Daffin Park and depicting the sense of vast space there; and her goals for 2025 of: building up a big series of paintings, putting on a public show, and possibly starting a series of artist salons.   Tune in and get all the details!

In Episode 7 of Season 13, I chat with Nina Treffkorn, co-director of Sydney contemporary art gallery, China Heights. Born to Buddhist parents that moved from a German commune to a conservative catholic small town in Ireland where she was raised, it's fair to say Nina has become used to looking at the world from the outside in. However her move to Sydney allowed her to discover a diverse art and fashion community she could belong to, and Nina has since found her place inside. And while it's Nina's style to lean into a uniform look as a tool to belong she is not strictly black and white. Nina may have stood out for her height as a child but she's learnt the value of having a unique story and style and while she finds peace is staying centred she uses her individual assets to her advantage, leading her to greater heights. 

"Jungle Jungle" is an exhibition by Taiwanese artist Zhang Xu Zhan, which delves into the shared and diverse cultural narratives across regions, highlighting how music's meaning and folk tales evolve locally. Inspired by the folktale "Sang Kancil and the Crocodiles" encountered during an artist residency in Indonesia, Zhang interweaves similar stories like Taiwan's "The Mouse and the Buffalo" and China's "The Rabbit and the Crab." Through the lens of a fly's compound eye, the exhibition portrays these interchanging animal tales, using metaphors like mirrors and shadows to reflect cultural flows and human-animal connections. We speak to Rahel Joseph, the Gallery Director of Ilham Gallery who are hosting this exhibition, to discover more about the artist, his works and his unique approach to storytelling.

Traditionally, art collecting has been associated with older, affluent individuals, but millennials are rapidly embracing art as an alternative investment. So, what is driving this shift? What are they collecting? And how can aspiring collectors get started?  Kim Tay, Co-Founder, and Gallery Director of The Artling explains. The Artling is an international Art and Design consultancy and online gallery focused on highlighting the best of contemporary art and design.The Artling offers consultancy services to both private and corporate clients, working with private collectors and with interior designers, architects and property developers.   Presented by: Hongbin Jeong and Roshan Gidwani Feature produced and edited by: Nadiah Koh  Do you have a story to tell on The Evening Runway show?

Titik Garis Bentuk: Drawing as Practice is an exhibition featuring works by 27 contemporary Malaysian artists, who use drawing as a centre in their practice. While traditionally, drawing was seen as part of an artist's preparatory work for a painting or sculpture, it is now regarded as a medium in its own right. The exhibition examines how artists are redefining the medium by blurring the boundaries between drawing and other art forms including installation, animation, and performance. We speak to Rahel Joseph, the Gallery Director of Ilham Gallery, and co-curator of the Titik Garis Bentuk exhibition, to find out more about how the wide range of works in the exhibition are being used by artists to expand conventional definitions of drawing as mark-making, on a two-dimensional surface.Image credits courtesy of Ilham Gallery: (Right) CCKua, To Wear Or Not To Wear.

Sarah sat down for a chat at the Space Program Recording Studios in November 2023 to ask Griff Williams, Founder of Gallery 16 about his 30+ years running a San Francisco-gallery. We also talk about his documentary "Tell them we were here" about 8 artists making art outside the gallery system and the impact they have made on the Bay Area's many diverse and underrepresented communities. About Gallery 16 Gallery 16 was founded in 1993 by artist Griff Williams with the primary focus of representing and advocating for the work of living contemporary artists. In addition to the regular exhibition schedule, the gallery sponsors artists talks, and hosts performances and music throughout the year. It's our belief that the brick and mortar gallery model, to be culturally relevant, needs to embody new strategies for facilitating and presenting artist's projects. The space, as Williams describes it, “allows for the artist to fail. We don't create exhibitions around curatorial agendas, but extend an invitation to artists we trust and hope they use the opportunity to challenge themselves without restrictions.

Paul Dahmen is the Gallery Director at Markowicz Fine Art's third location in Laguna Niguel, California. He was inspired to start painting with oil and acrylic paints by the age of nine with the encouragement of his grandmother, who had painted her entire life. However, an artist's life was not in the cards for him because he could not get through a university drawing class to save his life. Dahmen graduated with a Bachelor's Degree in English Literature and Art History from Wayne State University in Detroit, Michigan. He moved to Los Angeles after his studies to work in the film and television industry, and did so for over a decade, with the goal of working in the arts in some capacity in the future. Although he couldn't draw, his passion for the arts never diminished. He decided he would prefer representing artists in a gallery setting to help “connect the dots” between art collectors and artist's creations. This true passion led him to Laguna Beach to actively pursue his art gallery career.

In s3e49, Platemark host Ann Shafer talks with Valpuri Remling, collaborative printer and manager of the pro workshop at Tamarind Institute, University of New Mexico, Albuquerque, which was established in 1960 by the legendary June Wayne in order to preserve and promote the art of lithography. Valpuri, a native of Rovaniemi in Finnish Lapland, graduated from the program in 2009. After working at Helsinki Litho with Matti Hintikka and Kalle Berg, Valpuri returned to Albuquerque in 2015 to assume the position of printer and workshop manager from Bill Lagattuta, Tamarind's longtime collaborative printer. In her role, Valpuri collaborates with visiting artists, manages multiple publishing projects, and advises other workshops and manufacturing entities on best practices in lithography. Every year she directs the research of Tamarind apprentice printers and mentors the next generation of lithographers. Ann and Valpuri talk about growing up on the Artic Circle, how the two Tamarind shops function side by side, research into new lithograph tools and techniques, the printshop ballet, collaborating with artists, being true to oneself, and the surprising opportunity for artists to have work printed at Tamarind by students.

This week on Arts to Heart's Podcast, our host Charuka Arora sits down with Brea Gallery's director, Katie Chidester. Katie, who has been part of the arts community for about 25 years now, talks about Brea Gallery, what it does, and why it's important to have such community-building initiatives. Katie Chidester share with us why she became a creator and what it's like working in a visual art space. Talking about being in the arts field, Katie acknowledges the hardships artists often have to face as they battle self-doubt and are expected to succeed without any help or support. For artists, it become necessary to have a community where they are not afraid to approach someone for guidance or collaboration. More people need to step up and take it upon themselves to create such an inclusive community where an artist, or a non-artist, feels welcome instead of being intimidated.  Brea Gallery was set up in 1980 in Brea, California, and during the last 38 years, it has constantly strived to provide contemporary art exhibitions for artists and non-artists alike. The gallery's aim is to engage the community though aesthetic, educational, and intellectual experiences. Apart from its art exhibitions, Brea also offers artist lectures, workshops for all ages, a gift shop, and live art demonstrations.

Anyone can open up a gallery—real or virtual—and start selling art. I mean anyone. You don't have to hold a degree or pass a test. You don't have to have ethics or morals or know anything at all about art. But I am impressed by what UGallery is doing and the services they have been providing artists and clients since 2006. Everything about them feels different.  On this episode of The Art Biz, I'm joined by Alex Farkas, founder of UGallery.com.  Their business model is different from others in that online space. They know art. They curate the work so there aren't thousands of random artists competing for eyeballs. UGallery is paid on commission, so they only make money if art sells.They invest in marketing to help sell more art. They are looking for relationships with their artists and nurture their artists to help them sell better online. The focus of UGallery is on painting, but you should listen to their story even if you are not a painter because you need to know that there are people and companies out there who are on your side and doing things the right way.  Highlights The beginnings of the UGallery journey.

We don't succeed unless the artists succeed.” — Alex Farkas “Part of the relationship is making sure that artists understand if they put the time and money in upfront, it comes back out later.” — Alex Farkas “Think about what you're trying to accomplish and what your goal is, and then work from there.” — Alex Farkas About My Guest Alex Farkas is the Gallery Director of UGallery. His love of art traces back to his hometown, Jerome, a tiny arts community in northern Arizona. Alex grew up creating sculptures in his uncle's woodworking studio and learning about the art business in his mother's gallery.

Baugh discusses upcoming courses for the 2022 Fall Semester on the WRAM Morning Show.

If you have ever wanted to shoot the breeze with a gallerist, you will want to pay close attention to this episode of The Art Biz. I'm joined today by Jeremy Tessmer, the gallery director at Sullivan Goss Gallery in Santa Barbara, California. In our conversation, Jeremy shares his views of artist's professionalism, what he thinks of online platforms, and how he taught himself art history (and why that was important to him). Jeremy describes Sullivan Goss as an on-ramp for collectors and artists—one that connects their roster of local, regional, national, and international artists. You'll hear him discuss 3 qualities that he looks for in artists, two of which are non-negotiable, and how he views the artists in his gallery as a family. He says that “dealers should have some sense of responsibility for the well-being of their artists,” and, as you listen to our conversation, you'll understand why that has become so important to him. Highlights The niche that the Sullivan Goss Gallery fills and Jeremy's role within it. (2:37) Sullivan Goss is an on-ramp gallery with the aim of expanding the art world. (7:49) The different art world need to become more aware of each other. (10:05) Jeremy's journey from writer and tech specialist to art gallerist. (14:04) Is it important for artists to be steeped in art history? (23:34) Overcoming the anxiety of influence to connect with other artists. (26:21) The 3 qualities Jeremy looks for in the artists he represents. (33:30) The responsibility a gallery has for nurturing its artists' careers. (36:10) The value of understanding the long game and defining your real interest in an artist's career. (41:11) Things an artist should never say or do to gain the attention of a gallerist.

We are grateful to share Dyani White Hawk and Jovan C. Speller taking part in a podcast format we are calling The Long Conversation -- one that offers folks the chance to cultivate a thread of ideas and relationships without the presence of an interviewerPlease find extensive show notes, transcripts, and links on the episode site. Dyani White Hawk (Sičáŋǧu Lakota) is a visual artist and independent curator based in Minneapolis, Minnesota. Most recently, her work was included in the 2022 Whitney Biennial, and also presented as a major solo exhibition at the Kemper Museum of Contemporary Art. Dyani also previously served as Gallery Director and Curator for the All My Relations Gallery in Minneapolis.Jovan C. Speller is a multidisciplinary artist based in Minnesota. She has received a McKnight Visual Artist Fellowship and the Carolyn Glasoe Bailey Foundation Minnesota Art Prize. Her installation In Lottie's Living Room was featured in the High Visibility Exhibtion at the Plains Art Museum, and her exhibition Nurturing, and Other Rituals of Protection was recently presented by the Minneapolis Institute of Art.This Long Conversation was an experiment, one born from a desire to share with a wider audience what might happen when these two friends and collaborators had the space to relax into a conversation about life, art, family, land, and whichever topics and contexts emerged through that flow. In the time that transpires here, we hear both artists at a point of transition between exhibitions -- with major projects ahead -- reflecting on how the central presence of Black and Native women help us understand the dimensions of the cultural moment we all are walking through.Their time together opens with the power of intergenerational knowledge in their collaborative work Choosing Home, and expands to consider Jovan's time spent with relatives in rural North Carolina learning family history, and Dyani's time with Native women across the continent who speak the languages of their people. Rooted in these experiences, the conversation asks how artists, institutions, and communities can better honor and more deeply support the cultural histories and lived experiences that animate these connections.Land is a constant presence and relational force throughout, ground on which we're left with a deeper understanding of these artists' creative practice but also with a sense of the kind of futures we could all inhabit.High Visibility is an initiative of Art of the Rural and Plains Art Museum. Gratitude to the National Endowment for the Arts and the Andy Warhol Foundation for the Visual Arts for their support of this work. 

Garzon is currently the Gallery Director at Residency Art in Inglewood, CA. Born and raised in Inglewood, Garzon saw that there was a dearth of commercial art spaces in South Central that centered artists' of color and provided a platform for their work. This led to the formation of Residency Art, which is committed to celebrating contemporary artists that continue to make projects for communities of color. Before his work in the art space, Garzon worked in advertising and media planning as Media Director at the Publicis Groupe in Los Angeles and New York. Garzon has served on the Young Professionals' Advisory Board of InnerCity Arts and the LA County Department of Arts and Culture public art selection committees. Garzon has curated several noteworthy exhibitions including The New Contemporaries 1&2, Vaguely Political by Devin Reynolds, 1992: An Examination of the Iconography from the '92 LA Rebellion and Atmosphere of Certain Uncertainty by Devin B. Johnson. He has also led curatorial efforts for Felix Art Fair, Art Basel Miami and Our LA Voices at Grand Park.

State of the Arts Episode 71 just published! One Martine Gallery is a contemporary and pop art gallery that recently sprung up in the rapidly developing city of White Plains, New York. This week's guest is none other than the curator of One Martine Gallery, Walker Manzke. For over a decade, White Plains has been growing into a bustling metropolis. An elegant office building stood vacant at the end of Martine Avenue for a while. A building that Walker Manzke's business partner, real estate developer Martin Ginsburg, eventually converted into luxury apartments. In the lobby of this building is One Martine Gallery which is not only for residents to enjoy but for anyone who would like to explore this not-so-hidden gem. This charming gallery features original works, limited editions, emerging art, sculptures and decorated objects. The intimate, enchanting space can be rented out for special events as well. The gallery is both tastefully whimsical and captivating at the same time. Walker Manzke favors local artists and also reviews work for consignment. In fact, every piece on display is up for sale. Work from his roster of artists is exhibited on a rotational basis. Seeing the bigger picture in the future, he has a goal of bringing more artwork to White Plains and breathing new life into the small visual arts scene in our growing city. More public art displays, a surrounding cultural scene and a world of opportunities for rising new artists are all goals he along with other dedicated collaborators are working towards. When One Martine Gallery hosted its opening day, both the Mayor of White Plains and the Governor of New York were in attendance. I am so very pleased to have interviewed this ambitious, cultured, friendly and intelligent art director on this fascinating episode of State of the Arts.

On this week's episode of The Album Atmosphere, we sit down with the Arts Council of SW Indiana's Gallery Director, Andrea Adams, to discuss St. Vincent's 2015 self titled album.

Hello and welcome to Masterpiece Conversations, a series of podcasts that in each episode brings together a leading curator and art dealer to offer a taste of what people are really talking about right now in a particular field. I'm Thomas Marks, editor of Apollo magazine, and I'll be your host for these discussions, in which we're aiming to override the perceived ‘church and state' separation between museums and the art market – or at least to explore what conversation and collaboration between them makes possible. We'll be talking about what first drew our guests to their particular fields – and what's really inspiring them at this point about the art they're immersed in. And we'll dive into what the priorities are for museums and the market in that field at the moment – where they coincide and where they might even diverge productively. For this episode the focus is on antiquities. I'm delighted to be joined by Tom Hardwick – an Egytologist who writes about Egyptian sculpture and the history of collecting, and Consulting Curator of the Hall of Ancient Egypt at the Houston Museum of Natural Science – and by Madeleine Perridge, Gallery Director at Kallos Gallery, London, among the leading international specialists in artworks from the ancient world. It's great to have you both with me… See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

Already back then, he had close tights with artists such as Erna Rosenstein, Edward Krasinski and Koji Kamoji, who not only participated repeatedly in exhibitions at Gallery Library, but also had an impact on the choice of other artists collaborating later with Gallery Szydlowski. It is still in the Gallery Library that historical exhibitions such as Ping-Pong by Edward Krasinski (1993), or Haiku Water by Koji Kamoji (1994) took place. Szydlowski Gallery was officially opened in Warsaw with an exhibition of works by Koji Kamoji. The Gallery's programme focuses on contemporary Polish classics such as Erna Rosenstein and Wojciech Fangor and combines them with established young artists from Poland and other countries (such as Germany, UK, Taiwan and Japan). Gallery Szydlowski represents the heritage and archive of Wojciech Fangor, a key figure in contemporary art after 1945 in Poland, as well as at a global scale. Gallery Szydlowski issued a number of catalogues devoted to the work of Wojciech Fangor and Maria Stangret-Kantor, among others. Today, Gallery Szydlowski is an art consulting institution working with Polish and international artists,  curators and critics, an important knot in the network of galleries and museums crucial for Polish culture.
