SUITE 555
A closer look. A wider circle.
Suite 555 brings people closer to artists, galleries, cultural institutions, and one another through intimate experiences and shared conversation.
Some of my favorite conversations have happened in galleries, artist studios, and around the table. Conversations about work that stayed with us, artists I couldn't stop thinking about, and exhibitions that changed the way I saw things.
These experiences were too good to keep to myself. I created Suite 555 to bring more people into those conversations.
Through intimate gallery visits, artist studio conversations, museum experiences, and shared meals, Suite 555 makes space to look closely, exchange perspectives, and build relationships that continue long after the afternoon ends. Whether you're new to contemporary art or have been collecting for years, all you need is curiosity and a willingness to engage.
What to expect
Each quarter, I bring together a small group for a thoughtfully curated experience across Los Angeles. Gatherings may include private gallery visits, conversations in artists’ studios, museum exhibitions, and shared meals. Each offers a new perspective, time to look closely, and space to form relationships through art.
Be part of the first circle
Join the Suite 555 list for first access to our inaugural gathering, quarterly invitations, and opportunities to help shape what's next.
Why Suite 555?
555 is my lucky number. In numerology, it's associated with transformation, possibility, and embracing change. It's also a familiar number in Hollywood's fictional phone numbers: 555-1234, a playful nod to storytelling and our Los Angeles roots.
For me, it captures what I hope Suite 555 becomes: a special place to discover something unexpected, see things differently, and build lasting connections through art.
