Baird & Warner and the Berwyn Public Art Initiative Present:

A Community Art Collection

Activating Intersections to Connect Artists & Art Collectors (October 3, 2022 – September 22, 2023)

On behalf of Berwyn Public Art Initiative (BPAI) and Baird & Warner (B&W), we presented A Community Art Collection with a mission to stimulate local art collectors and guide new collectors in acquiring artwork confidently. 

Our partnership with B&W activated a new avenue for BPAI to share its mission and values by bringing intentional visibility to contemporary artists and their respective art practices. The art collection was on display from October 3, 2022 – September 22, 2023, and we hosted four art workshops during this period.

This collection encompassed 16 artists from various backgrounds, terrains (South Korea, Nigeria, Spain, U.S.), career stages, and aesthetics.  

I am elated to introduce each artist who was on display during this one-year partnership with B&W.

Please contact me directly about this program or for curatorial guidance. I am happy to assist in developing your dream art collection.

Curatorial Director 

“Art can heal, inspire, offer tranquility, and remind us of who we are and where we come from. Art can transport us to another dimension, oftentimes empowering individuals or societies as a whole. We are all collectors of some sort. What feeling do you wish to invoke when you are meditating on your personal art collection?”
— Michelle Ruiz
