One of the barriers to new collectors is the uncertainty of where or how to start.
Some of it is all in folks’ heads: Who has time for that? It’s something other people do. I don’t know much about art. Can I even afford it? How do I even know if I’m buying something of value?

But the best way to get closer to the experience of being an art collector is to visit some galleries. That’s why I’m now offering private, bespoke art walks. Here’s the deal: Join me and I’ll curate a selection of galleries for us to visit. We’ll see some art, and you’ll get to meet some of the smart, welcoming gallerists in my network, and learn about the artists they’re showing. Most importantly, you’ll experience what it’s like to walk into a gallery, look critically at art, engage gallerists, and get a first-hand sense of the art-buying process.
You can choose from three private art experiences. They can be done as a one-off, as a gift package of two walks, or as a session designed for larger groups.
The Art World Passport: For art-curious individuals who want a personal, expert-led introduction to the gallery world.
The Gift of Art: For art lovers looking for a deeper dive into the gallery scene or a meaningful, experiential gift.
The Insider’s Art Experience: For committed collectors, corporate teams, or anyone looking for an exclusive, high-touch art experience.
