A Conversation with Dr. Laura Henkel

by Ann Parenti, Publisher of Chic Compass Magazine

Chic Compass: We appreciate you, Dr. Laura Henkel, for coming to speak on “Creating Profits: Artists, Galleries $ Museums” and “Breaking Into the Art World on a Budget: A Practical Guide for Emerging Artists.” First of all, introduce yourself and the inspiration behind publishing these books.

Dr. Laura Henkel: I’ve been recognized as a visionary leader in the arts and culture industry for over two decades. I’ve traveled the globe to launch and direct museums and founded and managed Sin City Gallery. I created 12 Inches of Sin, an international art exhibition and festival that attracted participants from 27 countries due to compelling programming, marketing and community outreach. Since 2013, my consulting agency, ArtCulture PR, has provided bespoke services, guiding numerous arts and cultural organizations and international projects through the complex interplay between art and commerce. I’ve helped cultivate and establish many artists’ careers to international acclaim. Through ArtCulture PR, I specialize in art advisory and management, business growth consulting, cultural engagement and operations transformation by creating strategies that deliver results. These experiences inspired me to share my knowledge to help others succeed. I’m so delighted to share information about these publications with you today.

Chic Compass: Your books cover many topics connected to the art world. “Creating Profits” offers valuable insights for creatives and commercial and nonprofit entities. Can you elaborate on what readers can expect from this book? > Read More
