In this episode Gary Mansfield speaks to Georgia Powell of co-founder of CURA Art (@cura_art_)

Georgia Powell and Liza Shapiro are the Founders of CURA Art and The Residency. Through the two platforms, the founders have created an environment that is focused on long-term care and legacy. The Residency is a platform aimed at supporting and sponsoring underrepresented artists, centered around time away from their usual routine at various appropriate spaces. The Residency uses a unique approach, creating a supportive ecosystem through mentorship and community, connecting artists with influential patrons as a catalyst for change. Based in London and Los Angeles, CURA Art offers a personal and trusted approach to caring for varied collections, providing specialized services and expertise to ensure that works of art and other precious objects are preserved, managed, and displayed to the highest standards. Using their training in conservation, museum studies, art history and curation, they focus on advising collectors with the management and care of their collections, as well as with their philanthropy and patronage.

Georgia is a lecturer at Christie’s Education and speaks regularly on the subject of the role of the Collector today. Georgia is Curator to the Estate of Jane McAdam Freud and advisor to the Estate of Feliks Topolski. She is a Trustee of Plain Sight Archive and a mentor for I Like Networking, helping artists and those working in the arts.
