Art collecting and the business side of the local art scene

Leah Edwards, Head of Marketing and Business Development, for the Hang art galleries will join us to discuss art collecting and the business side of the local art scene. Hang specializes in Emerging Artists for Emerging Collectors. We'll be discussing be how to build an art collection without marrying into the Rockefeller clan.

For almost ten years, Leah was an active board member and volunteer for several San Francisco arts organizations. During that time, her day job was helping to launch software and internet companies. She is very excited that her position at HANG lets her focus full-time on her goals of supporting local artists and of making art more accessible to a broad audience. Leah has an MBA from Stanford University and a BS from UC Berkeley. These days she studies creative writing and putters with photography and other creative projects, while still volunteering her time on behalf of local artists and arts organizations.
