Big Paradise is a collective of curators based in the Hudson Valley and New York City who aim to break away from traditional gallery walls to create new experiences

We are curators (and artists) who have consistently presented art in an experiential and contextual format. We now collaborate to spotlight cultural innovators across geographic regions and artistic disciplines, and activate unexpected landscapes and settings to do so. We have big ideas and we believe in the big experience. However, we are thoughtful and curious. We respect the natural process of art making and have a symbiotic relationship with time. We are Big Paradise.


Services: We produce cultural programming and advise on art collecting and acquisitions.
