Meet Steven Abraham & Lisa Young of our 2026 Curatorial Committee! @chocodorayaki @histevenabraham

Steven and Lisa are Brooklyn-based contemporary art collectors focused on emerging to mid-career artists, particularly those from the Asian diaspora. In 2021, they co-founded The Here and There Collective (THAT Co.), a non-profit organization that provides a digital archive, grants, residencies, and community-building opportunities for Asian-diasporic artists. Their collection has been featured in publications including Frieze and Apollo Magazine, recognizing their commitment to supporting artists of color and an emphasis on stewardship as a collecting practice. @thehereandthereco

They say: “For us, a forward-thinking art market prioritizes inclusivity and long-term stewardship over short-term gain, investing in the entire ecosystem of artists, galleries, collectors, curators, writers, institutions, and supporting organizations, with particular emphasis on sustaining mid-career artists beyond their initial emergence. It also means evolving the structures that support artists’ careers by moving beyond acquisition to sustained relationships, mentorship, advocacy, and cross-diaspora resource sharing.”

Thrilled to see this finally live on @artsy! Can’t say thank you enough to everyone who contributed not only works but time and energy over the past few months. This is as much about the power of community as it is the art.

Proceeds will benefit the Asian American Legal Defense & Education Fund @aaldef and Heart of Dinner @heartofdinner
