Such a privilege to be on the prestigious jury for The
@art_market_minds Conference last week, led by the wonderful Louise Hamlin and Jean-Baptiste Costa de Beauregard, and owned by our investor
@fredericjousset.
It was a pleasure to review the applications alongside such brilliant minds: Deputy CEO of Beaux Arts Jean-Baptiste Costa de Beauregard, AXA XL’s Global Chief Underwriter for Fine Art & Specie Jennifer Schipf, Global General Manager of
@crozierfinearts James Hendy, Managing Director of Hallett Independent Adam Prideaux, Cultural Strategist
@marcspiegler, and NVIDIA Director of Startups Tobias Halloran.
We were treated to some incredible applications from companies with the drive and ambition to disrupt the status quo, bringing fresh strategies on how to respond to our shrinking market and audiences in the sector. It was so interesting to read about innovative approaches to the integration of AI trained imagery, as well as the diversification of audiences and revenues, and so much more.
A huge congratulations to
@natalyadoris_, founder of MENRVA, on a well-deserved win! I look forward to following your exciting work using technology to break down barriers between audiences and artworks, making the art world more accessible and nurturing new interest. A real strength of the model is how it centres human relationships, and uses technology to enhance and encourage this real-world connection.
