The art world is an overwhelming place to navigate on your own. We’re here to make sure you don’t have to.
PARADICE PALASE supports emerging and underrepresented artists in the development of their practices and the growth of their careers. We believe the best way to reach success is by surrounding yourself with likeminded people.
