The Collector’s House Conversations: The Intersection Between Art, Design, and Furniture
Starting a thought-provoking conversation
At The Art Dome, we believe in a multidisciplinary approach to art, constantly seeking new ways to expand the conversation and explore its intersections with technology, corporate environments, and, most recently, design.
Late last year, in collaboration with our partner Montenegro Art Project (MAP), we took a significant step into the world of design in Miami through our partnership with Eichholtz, located in the heart of the city’s Design District. This collaboration gave birth to The Collector’s House, an exhibition where the works of The Art Dome and MAP artists engage in dialogue with Eichholtz’s exquisite interior design collection, offering visitors a glimpse into what a seasoned art collector’s home might look like.
With the exhibition in place, we laid the foundation for a powerful conversation between art and design. Now, three months after its opening, we aim to amplify this dialogue, making it more vibrant and accessible to all.
Leading Voices in the Conversation
The Collector’s House has become a symbolic space where art and design converge, and we are now opening its doors to remarkable individuals who have supported and shown interest in this initiative since its inception. This event serves as a platform to elevate their voices and share their insights with a wider audience.
Our distinguished panel of speakers includes experts from both the art and design worlds, offering a unique blend of perspectives that will inspire artists, designers, and creative entrepreneurs alike.
