Exhibition curator & coordinator

figurative painting exhibition, Figures On The Coast, Paula O'Brien curator

It was a pleasure to work with Paula on the preparation, hanging and presentation of her proposal for “Figures on the Coast” group exhibition at the GPAG this winter. Paula was dedicated and diligent with all the little details that have made this a wonderful show. From reminders to polite prompts to keep everyone on track to fulfill a curatorial vision that she clearly articulated to the GPAG and the participating artists. Kudos – and I look forward to working with her on the next project.

Thank you for curating Figures on the Coast, and doing all of the heavy lifting needed to get it up and out there. I was pleased to be a part of this, and look forward to working with you again.
Cheers

Having recently been part of a show successfully conceived and executed by Paula O’Brien, I have no hesitation in recommending her as a curator for any art exhibition. She combines solid knowledge, with good organizational skills, artist sensitivity, enthusiasm and boundless energy.

This is a note from Noel Silver saying that Paula is a great and enthusiastic organizer. I am in the current show, Figures on the Coast and it is a well balanced exhibition of professional artists. It was her idea and she did pretty much everything that needed done. I consider my lucky to be involved as organizing is not my best trait. I am happy to support her in the future.

Thank you for your supportive and inspirational work in creating such a rich connection between a multitude of figurative artists with various practices. I am also delighted to say that it was through this site that a Chicago art collector discovered my work in Montreal and consequently was inspired to acquire one of my paintings.
