Episode 76 of ‘All About Art’: Mindfulness & Spirituality in Art Curation & Advising with Sneha Shah, Founder of Curaty

Welcome to another episode of All About Art! In this episode, I sat down with Sneha Shah, Mumbai and London based entrepreneur and Founder of Curaty - an art advisory firm that offers bespoke curatorial services, art experiences, and rental and advisory for art across the U.K. and India.

I ask Sneha about how she started her business, and what it means to run a company that builds on the philosophy of mindfulness and spirituality in art curation and collecting. We cover many bases, speaking about how her company has grown in the last 6 years - and what it was like in the beginning as an entrepreneur versus now. We discuss her work in South Asia and how it differs from her work in London, and so much more more.

Thank you Sneha for coming on the podcast!

Episode 75 of ‘All About Art’: Over 100 Years of Artist Residencies with Chiwoniso Kaitano, Executive Director of MacDowell

Welcome to another episode of All About Art! In this episode, I sat down with Chiwoniso Kaitano, Executive Director of MacDowell, an artist residency in New York established in 1907 (over 100 years ago) and now one of the most prestigious artist residencies worldwide.

I speak to Chiwoniso about her career path and what led her to her position as Executive Director of the residency. We delve into how the residency runs and we chat about its core mission within the art ecosystem. I ask about her responsibilities within her role as well as how she feels about the current political climate in the United States, especially while spearheading a company that has seen over 100 years of change.

I am excited to be releasing this podcast to coincide with their medal day celebration taking place on June 29th, where this year they are honoring Chilean-born visual artist, architect and filmmaker Alfredo Jaar with the 65th Edward MacDowell Medal.

Thank you Chiwoniso for coming on the podcast and for welcoming me to the MacDowell office in Chelsea while I was in New York!
