In my conversation on (La)Chance Encounters, I dive into the art of curating not just as a practice, but as a way of shaping experience and community. We explore what it takes to build and run Pillar Gallery + Projects, from selecting artists to creating meaningful exhibitions that resonate beyond the walls. The conversation also touches on the role of art in everyday life, the importance of accessible creative spaces, and my involvement in projects like Concord’s Sound and Color festival. It’s a candid look at how curation becomes both a creative act and a responsibility to the artists and communities it serves.
