GuestUser · September 23, 2020

We’re so excited and honored to announce that Cuseum’s CEO & Founder, Brendan Ciecko, has been featured in the Artnet Intelligence Report’s Fall 2020 Innovators Issue, alongside 51 other talented and creative entrepreneurs, artists, dealers, and more! According to the Artnet, “at a time when the art industry is facing unprecedented challenges, we set out to identify the most forward-thinking people in the market today.”

In conjunction with the report, Brendan was interviewed by Artnet News’s Tim Schneider, where he discusses “his unique path to the present moment, his perspective on the evolution of the arts and culture sectors, and the opportunities to be found in the challenges that lie ahead.”

Huge congratulations to Brendan on this recognition!
