ABOUT ON ART
Viviane Silvera founded On Art in 2002 to bridge the gap between artist, artwork and art lover by translating, distilling and making accessible art that can otherwise seem out of reach.
Her unique career as filmmaker, artist and art educator puts On Art at the forefront of contemporary art education with dynamic tours that provide in depth knowledge of the art world as well as the art-making process.
On Art visits the studios of Philip Pearlstein, Lina Puerta, Adam Straus and Allan Wexler
Viviane leads you in a discovery of NYC’s vibrant art world in a fun and accessible way, taking you behind the heavy glass doors of New York’s art world and into the intimate world of the artist from concept to execution of a masterpiece. Tours take participants on journeys from local studios to townhouse and white box galleries for an insider’s look into New York’s art world. Viviane organizes public bi-monthly tours as well private tours upon request.
In addition to leading gallery and studio tours, Viviane hosts salons featuring artists, filmmakers, curators and writers.
