Curated in the vein of a salon dinner, The Emerging Collectors Brunch Series is designed to cultivate an arts ecosystem that empowers emerging art collectors in their collecting journey. We do this by creating an intimate environment of 25-30 people per brunch.

Locations vary between collector’s homes, art galleries, and various artists’ studios.
