THE INDEPENDENTS

The Independents is an invitationonly membership group of dynamic individuals active in the contemporary art world that support the organization’s programs and vision for the future. The Independents gain insights by connecting with emerging and established curators, artists, collectors, and leading figures in the art world that keep their fingers on the pulse of contemporary art worldwide.
