OPENING DRIVE: THE SENTRY KICKS OFF THE 2025 PGA TOUR REGULAR SEASON THE ICONIC MAUI EVENT RETURNS TO THE PLANTATION COURSE AT KAPALUA FOR ANOTHER ROUND OF HIGH-PROFILE COMPETITION IMAGES COURTESY OF THE PGA TOUR 9

THE SENTRY PAIRS THE PINNACLE OF GOLF TALENT WITH A DYNAMIC, BEAUTIFUL COURSE. 10

THE SOURC E I S S U E 0 1

For over a quarter century, the PGA TOUR’s annual visit to Maui has set the stage for the top players in the world to display their skills against the very best in the game. With its elite field, unparalleled island beauty, and Aloha Spirit, The Sentry sets the tone for a fresh start each year, delivering an unforgettable event experience.

With Kapalua Resort as its home, The Sentry event pairs the pinnacle of golf talent with a dynamic, beautiful course.

Surrounded by one of the most picturesque backdrops in the sport, The Plantation Course at Kapalua has played host to historic moments and forged unforgettable champions such as Tiger Woods, Jordan Spieth, Justin Thomas, and Xander Schauffele.

Every year, the tournament welcomes the TOUR’s biggest stars for a four-day, no-cut, 72-hole, stroke-play competition. And according to Max Novena, the Executive Director of The Sentry, every golf fan will find something to enjoy.

“The Sentry offers something for everyone, from golf enthusiasts to those seeking a full island experience that embraces lifestyle, culture, and giving back to the community in meaningful ways,” said Novena. “It’s a unique chance to bring together golf lovers, businesses, friends and families to connect with each other while enjoying the very best Maui has to offer.”

Of the myriad experiences at The Sentry, the Cook Pine Club offers the highest expression of hospitality.

Membership to this exclusive club offers unparalleled on-site privileges, including valet service, curated menu items from two-time Maui Chef of the Year, Taylor Ponte, alongside craft cocktails, and the best views of golf and the island. To top it off, Cook Pine Club members have special access to incredible

views from No. 1 tee, No. 11, and No. 18 green, all featuring sweeping vistas of the Pacific Ocean.

With access to this trio of viewing areas, experience the breathtaking beauty of both course and island.

The view from the No. 1 tee, for example, is one of the most recognizable in the sport. As players hit their opening drives, members can take in the views down the mountain or across the Pailolo Channel to Moloka’i.

Taking in the entire view down Hole No. 11, Cook Pine Club members and players alike will look out across Honolua Bay. Known for its legendary surfing and beauty, it’s a great spot for watching not only the game but also keeping an eye out for whale spouts.

Finally, the private seating area on No. 18 green gives Cook Pine Club members uninterrupted views of every shot down the iconic par-5 finishing hole at The Plantation Course at Kapalua, giving a front row seat to watch the champion’s winning putt on Sunday.

That’s not all. If witnessing the best players in the world take on this property isn’t enough, The Sentry’s Official Pro-Am offers a bucket-list experience to play the course alongside two topranked TOUR players.

This multi-day experience includes not only the chance to play 18 holes in tournament-set conditions with two TOUR players, but access to the Am-Am, gifting experience, Draw Party, Awards Party, and much more.

“The Sentry’s Pro-Am is one of the best on the PGA TOUR,” said Novena. “Pro-Am participants have the once-in-a-lifetime

11

opportunity to play a round on a golf course recognized as one of the best in Hawaii, year after year. Not only that, but you have a TOUR professional alongside you, providing insight into how to approach each shot throughout this beautiful property. It’s an unmatched experience.”

Beyond the premium on-course opportunities, The Sentry delivers an immersive island experience for fans to enjoy world-class luxury and all that the Valley Isle has to offer outside the course.

With several luxury resorts located minutes from The Plantation Course at Kapalua, visitors can embrace local traditions and values to gain a deeper appreciation for the culture and history of this special place, beyond the competition.

The Ritz-Carlton Maui, Kapalua, Montage Kapalua Bay, and The Westin Maui Resort & Spa, Ka’anapali offer luxurious accommodations just steps from some of the most beautiful beaches in the world.

Welcoming guests with genuine hospitality and authentic cultural experiences, these resorts in the Kapalua and Ka’anapali areas of Maui embody the Spirit of Aloha. From rejuvenating wellness classes and tranquil spa treatments to sunset luaus and fine dining delicacies, each resort provides a truly memorable escape.

Those seeking more adventurous ways to experience the Valley Isle off the course should look no further than whale watches, sunsets cruises, and helicopter tours over Hana and Haleakala. Alongside enjoyment of The Sentry, visitors can embrace the sights and scenes of Maui from both air and sea.

After a day out on the course, the perfect way to relax is on Gemini Sailing Charter’s two-hour smooth and exciting Tradewinds sunset dinner sail. The trip features phenomenal views of West Maui’s mountains, Moloka’i and Lāna’i. Sip a Mai Tai or a Maui-Brewed Beer, and lounge on Gemini’s decks or trampolines as the sun sets on another perfect day in paradise.

For a bird’s eye view of the Valley Isle, experience the panoramic views and astonishing natural beauty on a guided aerial tour via Blue Hawaiian Helicopters from the immense, moon-like crater of Mt. Haleakalā to the beautiful Hana Rainforest Preserve and the famous Seven Pools of Oheo Gulch.

THE SOURC E I S S U E 0 1

From The Plantation Course at Kapalua to the Maui experience, The Sentry delivers a week of celebration to players, their families and friends, as well as golf fans around the world.

“It’s a career accomplishment to qualify for The Sentry,” said Novena. “Players arrive early to enjoy the island’s Aloha Spirit, which they eagerly look forward to. It’s one of the most enjoyable and memorable weeks of the year – an experience you won’t want to miss.”

In addition to providing an incomparable experience, support for the event allows The Sentry to raise money for local community non-profits. Since 1999, the tournament has generated more than $9 million in community impact funds for local organizations on Maui.

“The experiences and the funds generated by The Sentry in the community impact space have nearly doubled in the last five years,” Novena says. “Being an engaged community partner is both a responsibility and a privilege that we embrace.”

FELICE BRINGS AUTHENTIC TUSCAN CUISINE TO MIAMI FELICE, A BELOVED INSTITUTION WITH RESTAURANTS THROUGHOUT NEW YORK CITY AND LONG ISLAND, HAS FINALLY OPENED IN MIAMI’S VIBRANT BRICKELL NEIGHBORHOOD. Meet the team behind Felice as they bring their Tuscan-inspired cuisine and intimate, familyoriented environment to share their passion for culture and cuisine to their new location. In this Q&A, we delve into the familial inspiration behind Felice, the authentic, curated dining experience they offer, and their vision for the restaurant’s future as they expand.

22

THE SOURC E I S S U E 0 1

Q: FELICE SERVES ITS GUESTS WITH A FAMILY-ORIENTED APPROACH TO TUSCAN-INSPIRED CUISINE. WHAT MAKES TUSCAN CUISINE UNIQUE IN THE SCHEME OF ITALIAN DINING? A: Inspired by the spirit of the Italian countryside and the wines of Tuscany, Felice focuses on fresh, quality ingredients that bring out the natural flavors of certain dishes. Olive oil, for instance, is a staple in the Tuscan landscape, and our in-house made Extra Virgin Olive Oil is a great example of how Felice allows the simplicity of high-quality ingredients to bring together authentic, vibrant dishes.

Q: THE RESTAURANT WAS INSPIRED

BY YOUR FOUNDER, JACOPO GIUSTINIANI’S GRANDFATHER – ARE THERE ANY SPECIFIC FAMILY RECIPES THAT MADE IT ONTO THE MENU AT FELICE? A:Most of the dishes on the menu pay homage to the restaurant’s main inspiration, Jacopo’s grandfather, by building on the ingredients,

experiences, and simple recipes they shared. That said, the Pappardelle Salsiccia and Branzino al Cartoccio are two specific recipes that Jacopo grew up making alongside his grandfather and therefore carry special meaning.

Q: YOU’VE SAID THAT YOU ENCOURAGE GUESTS TO HAVE A CULINARY JOURNEY THAT MOVES THROUGHOUT THE RESTAURANT, STARTING IN THE BAR AND LOUNGE AREAS – A RARE TAKE IN TODAY’S OFTEN RUSHED DINING CULTURE. HOW DO YOU THINK ABOUT CRAFTING A LUXURIOUS, INTIMATE DINING EXPERIENCE LIKE THAT? A: To create an inviting atmosphere, we used dim lighting and an effortlessly elegant design to set the stage for intimate dining experiences. Our goal was to craft small, cozy spaces where diners could connect with both the environment and each other. Diners are welcome to start with an aperitivo hour to ease the pressure and rush often associated with dining. During aperitivo, guests are encouraged to unwind at the

bar, relax in the lounge area, socialize, and prepare their palates before moving to their table when they’re ready.

Q: THAT’S RIGHT, FELICE HOSTS APERITIVO – A UNIQUELY ITALIAN EXPERIENCE. CAN YOU TALK MORE ABOUT THE SPIRIT OF APERITIVO AND WHAT MAKES IT SPECIAL? A: Being a traditional Italian ritual, we knew that Felice absolutely needed to incorporate aperitivo hour into the dining experience. In true Italian culture, an aperitif allows diners to disconnect and unwind after a long day of work by sipping either a glass of wine or a spritz to “awaken” their appetites and palates ahead of dinner.

23

EVERY FELICE EXPERIENCE IS BOTH DEEPLY PERSONAL AND CONSISTENTLY EXCEPTIONAL.

Q: FELICE IS RENOWNED FOR ITS EXTENSIVE, CURATED WINE LIST. HOW DO YOU GO ABOUT PICKING THE WINES, AND WHAT RECOMMENDATIONS DO YOU HAVE FOR CUSTOMERS COMING TO FELICE AND LOOKING FOR THE PERFECT WINE PAIRING? Our owner grew up in Florence, Tuscany, and growing up had the opportunity to visit plenty of wineries across the region while building relationships with passionate producers all throughout Italy. At Felice, we take pride in curating an extensive, Italian-driven wine list, focusing on Tuscan wines with a vast selection of Chiantis, Brunellos, and Sangioveses, all predominant in the region. For firsttime diners looking for the perfect wine, we believe that a Chianti Classico is extremely versatile to pair with multiple dishes.

24

Q: SPEAKING OF FIRST TIME-DINERS, CONGRATULATIONS ON THE MOVE TO A NEW LOCATION – MIAMI’S BRICKELL NEIGHBORHOOD. AFTER MANY YEARS IN NEW YORK, WHAT INSPIRED YOU TO OPEN FELICE IN MIAMI? A: We aimed to broaden the reach of Felice so that we could continue to share our love for Tuscan culture, especially in a city whose energy is as vibrant and rich as its cuisine.

With Miami’s ongoing growth and development, expansion outside of New York became a natural next step.

Q: HOW DO YOU SEE FELICE FITTING INTO THE FABRIC OF MIAMI’S BRICKELL NEIGHBORHOOD? Miami celebrates both personality and flavor. As a genuine cultural melting pot, Miami blends the best of new concepts and classic traditions. Over the past few years, Miami’s culinary scene in particular has boomed. Specifically, the Brickell neighborhood has become one of Miami’s most prominent dining areas. From chef-driven restaurants to the passionate locals who fuel the gastronomic scene, we wanted to further add to Brickell’s ever-evolving culinary landscape by bringing a taste of Tuscan dining to the Magic City.

THE SOURC E I S S U E 0 1

Q: FELICE BRICKELL WILL BE THE FIRST IN THE FELICE FAMILY TO OFFER A TABLE-SIDE DINING EXPERIENCE, CAN YOU GIVE MORE INSIGHT INTO WHAT MAKES THAT EXPERIENCE SPECIAL? Felice opened 17 years ago, and the brand continues to thoughtfully grow and evolve. We decided to incorporate table-side experiences because we believe that sharing a meal with loved ones is more than just the food on the table, it’s the connection felt throughout. That interaction and connection is what truly makes a dining experience memorable. The table is where we truly come together as family and friends – not just to eat, but to share and connect with each other.

Q: WITH TWELVE LOCATIONS, HOW DO YOU MAINTAIN A LEVEL OF INTIMACY, AUTHENTICITY, AND NEIGHBORHOOD FEEL AS YOU CONTINUE TO GROW AND EXPAND INTO NEW NEIGHBORHOODS AND CITIES? Whether we’re in New York or Florida, Felice’s mission remains unchanged: to share a passion for culture and cuisine with every diner we serve. By staying true to our core values, we ensure each location offers a unique yet consistent experience. We maintain intimacy by creating welcoming spaces that feel like an extension of our own homes, where we proudly serve our guests.

Similarly, we uphold authenticity through genuine connections with our guests and a dedication to our heritage by using fresh, authentic Italian ingredients. Our commitment to these principles ensures that every Felice experience is both deeply personal and consistently exceptional.

Q: WHAT ADVICE WOULD YOU GIVE TO RESTAURANT OWNERS LOOKING TO EXPAND TO NEW NEIGHBORHOODS OR CITIES? When expanding to new neighborhoods and cities, we believe it’s crucial to spend time in and study the market.

Go to the local bars and restaurants and get to know the locals and the dedicated talents bringing the experiences to life. The goal is always to embrace and honor the local community while still bringing your authenticity and concept into a new city. It’s important to understand the balance between being bold and knowing your audience. Your business is as strong as those who support it, so the first few months of opening are the most crucial – open your mind, heart, and soul, and listen to your diners. Find the bridge between your brand and the neighborhood you’re in.

FINDING A DESIGNER WHO SHARES YOUR VISION ISN’T ALWAYS EASY. One Bay Area homeowner realized this the hard way when planning an extensive renovation on her new Spanish-style house. She had shared inspiration photos—most of them from the Instagram of AD100 interior designer and co-founder of The Expert Jake Arnold—with other local interior designers she hired, but their proposals never felt quite right. When she discovered that Jake himself offered design consultations through The Expert, everything changed. She realized that there’s nothing like going straight to the source. “I took the plunge and never looked back,” she says.

Two years and more than 12 virtual consultations later, the home she shares with her husband and three-month-old is even better than she could have imagined. “What I love about Jake is that he doesn’t just replicate his designs—he really makes them yours.”

The elements the client loves about the designer’s signature style—mixed, organic textures, warm, inviting colors, and special vintage finds—translated perfectly into her bright California home. Using her own contractors for the renovation and The Expert’s e-commerce platform and sales team to oversee all decor and furnishing customizations, this client brought her vision to life.

SOURCING THE PERFECT PIECES Using Jake’s recommendations, the homeowner furnished her entire home using a mix of products from the 150+ brands sold on The Expert, tapping its broad network of trade-only resources to give her space the AD100 designer’s signature look. “It was one of the easiest, smoothest processes ever,” she says.

The bedroom was inspired by a photo she saved from Jake’s Instagram, which featured a green daybed. “I was looking for something of that nature,” she says. But Jake insisted: “We’re going to curate something specifically for you.” The resulting seating area, with its mossy velvet sofa, nubby-textured armchairs, and rough-hewn coffee table evoked the client’s reference photo but felt unique to her home.

The couple also knew they wanted plenty of seating for entertaining family in their dining room, and with Jake’s help, they landed on a space that has a perfect mix of textures: Wicker-wrapped chairs and a vintage pendant light give the space a coastal feel, while more brutalist Rose Tarlow sconces found on The Expert add an interesting contrast.

CAPTURING THE RIGHT BALANCE The young family wanted their space to feel curated and personal, yet lived in and comfortable. “The browns and earthy tones that Jake uses are my favorite—it’s such a vibe,” she says. “But I also wanted to keep the space light and bright.”

Jake originally suggested darker, patterned drapes, but the client asked for a lighter option. With the help of The Expert’s team, she ordered a neutral linen fabric from a trade-only brand for custom drapery that added warmth and texture to the entire house.

Comfort was also key throughout the home, but it was important that the design still look elevated. In the family room, a large, deep linen sectional from The Expert Collection is easy to fall into, while a vintage-inspired mohair sofa in the living room offers a comfortable, yet slightly more tailored seating option. In both rooms, Jake suggested open-box fireplaces to create a cozy feel.

MAKING THE MOST OF MATERIALS The client had plenty of inspirational references, but Jake helped her personalize them for her home. For instance, she

29

knew she wanted her bathroom to make a statement with Arabescato marble, but was torn about the best way to use it.

“I didn’t know how to go about it without it looking cheesy or redundant,” she says.

Jake suggested wrapping the marble around the vanity mirrors and installing it halfway up the wall, behind the freestanding tub. “It’s very cool and curated,” she says. Brass sconces with linen lampshades and an undulating fabric pendant light over the tub added an ideal material contrast, which the client says created a “soft look with a big impact.” A jute rug from Armadillo, also sourced on The Expert, finishes the space.

KEEPING AN EYE FOR DETAIL Throughout the home, small moments work together to have a greater impact—like the bathroom vanity’s cafe curtain. “It

30

seems like such an insignificant detail, but it’s so beautiful,” the client says. “I have an eye for beautiful things but don’t always know how to recreate them.” Jake helped translate her mood boards into reality while taking the initial inspiration to the next level.

With The Expert’s care and vision, the client’s dream home became a reality. “I have to pinch myself,” she says. “It’s exactly what I wanted.”

ABOUT THE EXPERT The Expert connects anyone, anywhere with the world’s top interior designers—from Jake Arnold to Leanne Ford, Brigette Romanek, and Amber Lewis—via video consultations, breaking down the traditional barriers between high-end designers and clients. The Expert’s first-of-its-kind curated marketplace features over 150+ brands and 5000+ products, all handpicked by our designers.

With a background in marketing and PR, Mallory’s passion for jewelry led her to take a leap of faith and transform her side hustle into a thriving business. “I started doing private jewelry design,” Mallory confides, “but quickly realized that there was a void in the DC market for a shop that featured a range of independent fine jewelry designers alongside my own offerings.” Inspired by her own love for collecting unique pieces, she opened Shelter to address this gap, and quickly established a reputation for its carefully curated selection and personalized touch. Today, Shelter boasts a diverse range of over 30 jewelry brands, most of which are female-owned.

As both founder and designer, Mallory takes a hands-on approach to crafting and sourcing the jewelry at Shelter, carefully selecting uncommon and captivating finds. When designing, Mallory is meticulous about the physical and emotional impact of each piece. For a recent in-house line of heirloom charms, Mallory notes, “We probably had ten rounds of design until I felt the weight and feel was just right. It’s a very hands-on and intuitive process, and I love seeing how each piece evolves from an idea into something tangible and beautiful.”

The Shelter team is equally meticulous in their sourcing of brands and materials, prioritizing underrepresented designers and independent makers. “While we often find brands online,” Mallory explains, “it’s incredibly helpful to see pieces in person. Being able to feel and try on pieces gives us a sense of what would work in the shop.” Recently, Shelter became Fairmined Certified which allows them to create pieces using certified gold sourced from artisanal and small-scale mining organizations. All in-house pieces are crafted with recycled gold, and the team collaborates with independent stone suppliers committed to ethical sourcing. Most of the featured designers do the same – “We prioritize working with brands who follow similar ethos when creating their pieces,” Mallory emphasizes.

Beyond its curated collection, Shelter excels in providing

37

personalized service, offering styling advice, exclusive previews, and special offers to its loyal clientele. By fostering a sense of community and belonging, they have cultivated a dedicated customer base that is passionate about the brand.

“We have quite a range of shoppers who come into the store, but our core customer is a person who is a collector at heart,” says Mallory. “They are comfortable investing in pieces for themselves, and understand and appreciate unique designs and craftsmanship.” Over the years, the Shelter team has built a strong clientele through word-of-mouth and repeat business. When asked about reaching new customers, particularly in today’s oversaturated digital landscape, Mallory emphasized finding balance between leveraging platforms like Instagram and nurturing existing relationships. “I find that many people discover us from coming into the shop and trying something on. They often leave and think about it, then purchase online,” she explains. “We understand that fine jewelry is an investment, so we anticipate that for some repeat customers, purchases may be less frequent. That said, even if they’re making infrequent purchases, our brand evangelists are telling others about our work – so staying topof-mind and connecting to them is imperative.”

And just how does Shelter stay top-of-mind in a trenddriven landscape? “We try to toe the line between ensuring pieces feel relevant, but also won’t quickly go out of style,” Mallory explains. “For example, charms are incredibly popular right now, and so we designed an in-house line of solid gold charms that can be engraved, and also styled with other pieces. While these are very “of the moment,” they’re designed in a way that they can be worn on their own and feel really classic and timeless.”

Mallory herself is a jewelry maximalist at heart, often rotating pieces in her fairly large personal collection to wear as much of it as she can. For those new to layering jewelry or looking to develop their personal style, Mallory recommends focusing on one grouping or area – such as necklaces or bracelets, and then finding 2-3 styles that feel good on you. From there, try pairing unexpected pieces together and keep rotating until you find the right balance. “Jewelry should be fun, not overwhelming,” Mallory advises. “Don’t take it too seriously!”

As the jewelry industry continues to evolve, Shelter remains steadfast in its commitment to amplifying underrepresented designers, prioritizing independent makers, and carefully selecting uncommon and captivating finds. Mallory’s vision for the company is clear: to create a space where customers can discover truly unique pieces that will be cherished for years to come.

SALON 21: A CURATED SPACE FOR ART AND CONNECTION Situated in NYC’s vibrant SoHo neighborhood,, Salon 21 is more than your typical art gallery: it’s a meticulously curated space meant to engage art enthusiasts, design lovers, and everyone in between. Inspired by the Parisian salons of the 20th Century, Salon 21 offers a dynamic calendar of rotating art exhibitions and events within a home-like setting designed to invite visitors to linger and connect. We caught up with founder and curator Alex Bass to learn more about her inspiration for the space, how she thinks about curating the perfect event, and her advice for first time art collectors.

Q: AT SALON 21, YOU HOST ROTATING ART AND DESIGN EXHIBITIONS, WHICH ALSO SERVE AS THE BACKDROP FOR A VIBRANT CALENDAR OF EVENTS, INCLUDING DINNER AND COCKTAIL PARTIES. WHAT INSPIRED YOU TO CREATE SUCH A VERSATILE SPACE FOR SOCIAL EXPERIENCES? A: I founded Salon 21 to fill a void in the social experiences available to New Yorkers interested in arts and culture, and who are looking to discover new talent. After working in the auction and gallery world for several years, I understood there to be a real gap in art offerings for people wanting to learn and who feel intimidated by the traditional barriers to entry in the art world. I realized that there was a void for the ‘in-between,’ an outlet for people who may not be exposed to this space regularly but whose unique points of view and passions are just as important. Studying art history, I was inspired by the salons of the 20th century, notably Gertrude Stein’s in Paris, and how artists of all different crafts came together. At Salon 21, we aim to bring back the concept of “the salon” by focusing on conversation, socialization, and accessibility to the art world.

Salon 21 is a space for discovery, education, entertainment, and conversation, as well as a marketplace for emerging artists and young collectors to intersect in real life. Our calendar of programming and the services we offer bring together all of my passions–from art and interiors to food and fashion. This is a space for people who love all of those things and want to meet others who do, too.

Q: IN BRIDGING YOUR PASSIONS TO MAKE ART AND DESIGN MORE ACCESSIBLE, IT SOUNDS LIKE YOU’VE CRAFTED A SPACE AND CALENDAR THAT HAS SOMETHING FOR EVERYONE, IF THEY’RE INTERESTED. HOW DO YOU THINK

ABOUT CURATING A MEMORABLE EXPERIENCE? DO YOU SELECT THE EXHIBITIONS BASED ON YOUR UPCOMING EVENTS, OR VICE VERSA? A: Almost every four weeks, the art on view rotates, providing new inspiration for events. Whether it’s a cocktail party or a workshop, I aim to tie our activations to the exhibition on view.

For example, one of our upcoming October exhibitions, “The Mysteries That Were Ours” by Danielle Kosann, focuses on women’s rights, so we have a panel with Planned Parenthood of Greater NY and other voices in that space to discuss contemporary social issues and how these also impact the art world, such as why we should be investing in female artists and designers. Everything is interconnected and inspiration can be taken and found from almost anywhere. We always want people to walk away inspired by both the visual arts as well as the conversations they have at Salon 21.

Q: LET’S TALK ABOUT THE BACKDROP FOR THOSE CONVERSATIONS. SALON 21 FEATURES A METICULOUSLY CURATED SHOWROOM AND UNIQUE DESIGN AESTHETIC. WHAT WAS YOUR ORIGINAL DESIGN VISION AND INSPIRATION FOR THE SPACE, AND HOW DID YOU BRING IT TO LIFE? A: I have always held the belief that art should be lived with, so the space I created for Salon 21 brings this to life by providing visitors with the opportunity to view art in this way, in a home-like setting. My inspiration really came from my art history studies and learning about figures such as Gertrude Stein who used their homes to showcase emerging talent at the time.

From a design perspective, Stein’s Parisian apartment inspired how I created the space. For example, we show art on walls that look like they’ve been stained by leaks, as Stein had in her home, rather than on stark white

walls as done in most modern galleries.

The Art Nouveau and Art Deco styles of that era are also some of my favorite design movements. When sourcing for the space, I tried to find both vintage and new pieces that felt authentic to those periods.

I’m also always tapping into Parisian aesthetics in a contemporary way while referencing these historic design movements. I have a maximalist sensibility which lends itself to how I showcase art in a salon-style setting, how I create a tablescape or design. In terms of specific pieces that really make the space what it is, our above-ground conversation pit, which I purchased from 1stDibs and reupholstered, is the anchor of the space. I want people to gather here for hours, eating, drinking, and talking.

Q: IT’S RARE TO FIND A SPACE THAT ENCOURAGES LINGERING – ESPECIALLY IN A FAST-PACED CITY LIKE NEW YORK. FOR SOMEONE ATTENDING THEIR FIRST EVENT AT SALON 21, WHAT ELSE CAN THEY EXPECT? A: We have an incredible community that attends our exhibitions and events and which includes people of all ages, occupations, backgrounds and more!

It’s really special to be able to meet so many different people who all have a shared love of the arts. All of our events are listed on our website, and we have some exciting panels, coworking events, and workshops coming this fall. Everything we host feels informal yet sophisticated, with all our events being thoughtfully curated while remaining inviting. I am interested in the ambiguity and multidisciplinary idea of the space, while maintaining a very clear concept and championing a mission of bringing people together around the arts. Salon 21 is a space for artists, collectors, and people tangentially connected to and interested in art (or not at all in that world) to come together and bring new perspectives into the salon.

Q: Meeting people is my favorite part of hosting our events. Our Salon 21 gatherings provide a wonderful opportunity to connect with a diverse array of remarkable New Yorkers across various industries. At the opening of our current exhibition, “This Contains Magic” by Brianna Lance, we had artists who had previously exhibited with us come out to show their support. It’s this sense of community we’re fostering—one founded on mutual admiration, shared inspiration, and genuine collaboration—that truly excites me.

THE SOURC E I S S U E 0 1

Q: THINKING ABOUT THE GROWTH OF YOUR COMMUNITY AND PROGRAMMING, HOW HAS THE SPACE AND CONCEPT EVOLVED SINCE ITS INCEPTION, AND HOW DO YOU SEE IT GROWING IN THE FUTURE? ARE THERE PLANS TO EXPAND BEYOND YOUR SOHO LOCATION? Q: Looking back at the history, (which is important to me as someone who is deeply passionate about history and design), the SoHo area, prior to gentrification in the late 20th century, was home to many artist lofts. Once industrial spaces, these lofts were transformed from factory floors into large studios with living quarters. The history of artists living and working in the area was further underscored by pioneering contemporary art dealer, Leo Castelli, opening two locations in SoHo, one of which was on Greene Street until 1988. We want to bring art - not the super Instagram-centric “pop art” galleries you see in the area now - back to SoHo. And not just art, but dynamic conversation. Wherever we go next, this ethos will remain the bedrock of Salon 21. I’ve seen this momentum grow since our opening in September 2023 and I think this extends beyond physical space.

Q: WHAT’S NEXT FOR SALON 21? ARE THERE ANY EXHIBITIONS OR EVENTS YOU’RE PARTICULARLY LOOKING FORWARD TO? A: Salon 21’s fall exhibitions celebrate four female artists who explore how femininity and womanhood interact in a society, and how women are often left to fantasize about what autonomy and power would look like in a nonpatriarchal world.

Artists Brianna Lance, Danielle Kosann, Morgane Richer La Flèche, and Janie Korn incorporate symbolism in their respective media that hint at the female psyche. By weaving together personal and collective experiences, these exhibitions offer a compelling reflection on the ongoing struggle for gender equality and the quest for self-determination. Each piece invites viewers to not only question traditional notions of femininity but also to envision a world where women’s voices and perspectives are fully realized and valued.

We also launched a series of events called “coworking and crafts,” which allows guests to co-work in our space during the day and then unwind afterhours with a glass of wine and art activity. Make headway on your to-do list, meet others, and unwind in the comfort of the salon.

Q: FOR THOSE OUTSIDE OF THE NEW YORK AREA, WE’D LOVE TO SHARE SOME OF YOUR ART AND DESIGN EXPERTISE TO HELP GUIDE READERS LOOKING TO CURATE UNIQUE SPACES WITHIN THEIR OWN HOMES OR START BUILDING THEIR OWN ART COLLECTIONS. GIVEN YOUR EXPERIENCE IN CURATING ART AND DESIGN EXHIBITIONS, WHAT ARE SOME KEY FACTORS TO CONSIDER WHEN BUILDING A PERSONAL COLLECTION? A: When building a personal collection, there are several important factors to consider: Invest in Quality: Aim to invest in pieces that are of high quality and have the potential to appreciate in value over time. The goal is to build a collection that not only brings you joy but can also stand the test of time, potentially outlasting you. The key to a great home is collecting over time rather than buying all at once and overly embracing trends.

Buy What You Love: It’s crucial to focus on acquiring art and design elements that genuinely resonate with you. Your collection should reflect your personal taste and preferences, not simply follow trends or the recommendations of others. The emotional connection you have with each piece will make your collection more meaningful and satisfying.

43

Q: WHAT DO YOU LOOK FOR IN ART AND DESIGN – DO YOU THINK ABOUT TIMELESSNESS OR WHETHER SOMETHING WILL FIT COHESIVELY INTO AN OVERALL AESTHETIC? A: While it’s beneficial for a collection to have some level of cohesion, it shouldn’t be overly rigid. Cohesion, in my view, is about the pieces reflecting your unique style and taste. If you love a piece, it will naturally fit into your collection, creating a space that feels authentically yours. Don’t worry too much about achieving a perfectly balanced look; instead, focus on creating a collection that feels personally fulfilling and tells your story.

Then, you’ll have a home that is not only visually appealing but also deeply personal and enduring.

Q: WHEN DESIGNING A SPACE OR A HOME, HOW DO YOU RECOMMEND SOMEONE BALANCE PERSONAL TASTE WITH THE POTENTIAL INVESTMENT VALUE OF AN ART PIECE? A: Buying art should be a deeply personal experience, acquiring a piece that brings you joy every time you see it—whether that is a large oil painting or a charming poster from a museum gift shop. Your walls should showcase pieces you want to admire daily, items that continually bring you happiness and that you find new reasons to cherish. It’s about surrounding yourself with art that resonates with you personally, rather than simply investing in what a designer or advisor might suggest.

44

Q: WHAT ARE SOME EMERGING ARTISTS OR TRENDS TO WATCH OUT FOR IN THE ART WORLD, AND DO YOU HAVE ANY ADVICE FOR HOW TO INCORPORATE THEM INTO ONE’S SPACE? A: Recently, I’ve noticed a growing trend in artwork featuring interior scenes and tablescapes. Collectors are drawn to these subjects because they blend effortlessly into their homes and resonate with familiar themes.

Among the emerging artists I’m excited to include in my collection are Danielle Kosann, who has an upcoming exhibition at Salon 21 this fall, Andie Dinkin, and Marc Armitano Domingo, also exhibiting at Salon 21.

Q: WITH DEGREES FROM COLUMBIA AND SOTHEBY’S INSTITUTE OF ART, DO YOU HAVE ANY FAVORITE BOOKS OR RESOURCES THAT YOU’D RECOMMEND FOR SOMEONE LOOKING TO LEARN MORE ABOUT ART AND DESIGN? A: I recommend taking a historical approach first and learning about the origins of collecting. One of my favorite professors in school taught a class on Collecting and we studied infamous collections and collectors like J.P. Morgan and Henry Clay Frick and their art advisors, such as Joseph Duveen. Learning about how trends in the art market have changed through the 20th and 21st century is fascinating and informative as a new collector.

I would also just highly recommend getting inspired by your surroundings, especially if you live in a cultural capital like New York. Go to museums, galleries, and the like. And don’t be afraid to ask questions!
