Tamar Zenith: Navigating art and business with a creative mindset
Manage episode 439452003 series 3395081
What does it take to build a long-lasting business in the art world, especially when you’re starting small and going against the grain?
In this episode, I sit down with Tamar Zenith, co-owner and director of Newzones Gallery of Contemporary Art in Calgary. Tamar shares her journey from growing up in a creative household to navigating the challenges of running a gallery with her mother. We talk about how she’s built strong, lasting relationships with artists and collectors, the importance of trusting your instincts in business, and why breaking down barriers in the art world has been key to her success.
We also chat about what it’s like growing a business in Calgary, how community and accessibility shape the art scene, and the lessons she’s learned along the way.
