Faith Flanagan, Art Matters
Faith Flanagan is a Ninja curator, collector-in-the-rough, and over all intrepid art fan. Currently, she is responsible for developing new business and focusing on art matters for Massey Media and programming visual art projects for Studio 1469, among other endeavors.
She began her professional arts career in the public relations department at The Phillips Collection, with her final position as Director of Graphic Communication. In that role, she was tasked with creating and maintaining a distinct overall look and consistent style for the museum, as well as developing and producing graphics to include various Phillips publications.
Following this period, Faith was hired as Art Director by Surroundart, where her clients ranged from the Smithsonian Institution to private collectors. She worked with the exhibit designer and design staff to create cohesive appearances through careful study of varied clients’ design needs and managed client relations with exacting customers from conception to installation, working closely with exhibition designers, museum curators, production coordinators, and client staff for both public institutions and private firms. Seeing a unique opportunity to use her non-design skills, she transitioned to Director of Business Development. Her primary role was fostering and maintaining strong, long-term relationships with clients and managing the day-today details of those partnerships.
Faith has worked as Special Projects Coordinator and Assistant Director at Conner Contemporary Art. She has also been employed for part time registrar duties for a private collection, and visual arts program management for Solas Nua, a group dedicated to bringing contemporary Irish arts to the United States.
She is most interested in contemporary visual art, but is open to talking about it all. Faith believes that creative people make the world a better place.
